I want to share a little of my webtoon drawing process! ✏️
Hi everyone! 👋
I wanted to share a little of my drawing process for my webtoon Chilling Emblem.
This panel went through four stages:
1. Spacing / Layout
I start with very simple stick figures and rough shapes to plan the composition, panel flow, and overall pacing.
2. Rough Sketch
Then I refine the characters and expressions so I can use this sketch as a guide for the final line art.
3. Line Art
After inking, I place a grayscale layer underneath the line art. I set my coloring layers to clip/parent to it (different software uses different names for this feature), which makes it much easier to use the paint bucket tool without coloring outside the lines.
4. Coloring
Honestly… I usually stop around this stage because I don't have enough time for heavy rendering 😂 “Good enough to tell the story” is often my goal. Do you have any little tricks or workflow habits that save you time when making comics? I'd love to hear them!
You can read Chilling Emblem here if you're curious.
