I take you through the entire process of using Krita to make your very own Webtoon comic.
Someone commented that I template file is 1000px wide, not 900px as I stated in the video. So when you copy over to the tall file 13:51, make the file 1000 px wide. When you use croppy, it will make the file 800px for you. so keep it at the higher res of 1000px for the tall file.

What I said.
@@walterostlie where can i find the medium version of the template for krita?
@@walterostlie Nevermind!
@Walter Ostlie I was trying but they say i need to uploud something from JPG, JPEG, and PNG formats and now I can't put anything in it what did I do wrong.
@@aengelen2001 You have to export out of krita to a jpg or png file. You can't upload your raw working krita file.
FINALLY! Someone who uses Krita to make comics 😩👌
for real because people would usually use software that isn't free
Hii i know another amazing artist that uses krita for making his cómic, his name is David Revoy and has a lot of tutorials for the software, but he has a heavy frech accent, I mention it just in case you mind it
I think google is being payed by Adobe to mostly post and recommend almost nothing but Photoshop and Illustrator tutorial videos on CZcams. That’s probably why Krita tutorial videos on making comics are extremely hard to find. Yeah let’s keep the corporate monopolies in art programs going! (The last part was Sarcasm). I am very grateful for the Krita tutorials too. 😊😊😊😊😊
I was looking through your channel and thinking, "how would I make a comic with krita?"
Then I stumbled upon this! Thanks!
Now that is some good timing. I hope it helps and good luck with your comics.
Krita is ALWAYS doing the most. Comics? It has that. Illustrations? It has that. Animations? It has that too!
Yeah, It's insane that they can do all that and give it away for free. But Adobe charges 120 a year or what was it before like 3,000 bucks? Crazy.
@@walterostlie The world truly is filled with mysteries
@@QNiki cuz open source lol
Just in case nobody knows, there is a *comics manager* docker in the latest version of Krita. It allows you to setup a project of multiple pages of any size neatly in it's own docker. Which allows you to switch between any page with ease in the same document.
What's most useful about this though is it allows you too keep the layers of every page separate and allows you to organize your pages on the fly with a preview! It even lets you create template page dimensions to use in any project. Plus since it's a separate project with it's own folder and everything, it saves you the time of keeping up with where your files are.
oh nice! That sounds really cool. Gonna check that out. Thanks!
how can i find the comic manager
I have Krita, I've been wanting to create a webtoon for some time and I am so happy this video popped up, you've been my main to go to when it comes to creating webtoon comics and I am so happy and excited to really sit down and create, thank you!
Thank you so much for your kind words, I'm just happy to help. I wish you many grand comic adventures.
@icewallowcome i am listening
i just wanted to let people know you can cut out the middle man and go to image, split, and it will split your comic how ever you want it and you can save it as jpgs also their is now a word bubble tool tho it tends to crash but it is new
Oh nice. Thanks for the heads up
Thank you 🙏🏽
Wait, where is the word bubble tool?
@@aanyasarea8582 yes its the vecter library docker
So go to
Settings
Dockers
And then on the bottom vector library tool
@@sarispooks6366 Hey, thanks, but I dumb and I can't find out how to use this tool...
I should probably use that cropping website instead of doing it manually in gimp all the time lol. Thanks for the video! :)
Croppy is a life and time saver.
icewallowcome sure what’s your discord
you can also do it with Krita, Walter has a whole video about it xd
You can save a slicing file just to slice you work. Like you have the slicing grid right so then take away ur long panel and now all it shows will be a background and the lines so just save that. Then enter in a new long panel and it should be fine. But yeah the websites nice too
I think you can use ImageMagick for this kind of things. Also Krita has Image Split functionality.
Coloring with the lasso and paint bucket tool looks so much easier and quicker. I ought to learn how to do that soon.
Oh and Ostlie! I finally submitted my first episode for the Webtoon short story contest. Yeah, it's late in the game, but I can finally say I finished an episode!
For anyone interested it's called "Runaways to Sons". And it doesn't have dialogue sooooo, it might not be for everyone.
Oh uh, here's a link.
m.webtoons.com/en/challenge/runaways-to-sons/list?title_no=452420&webtoon-platform-redirect=true
That came out super good. Congrats! Yeah, lasso, paint bucket, rectangle select, and magic wand are super powerful.
@@walterostlie Thank you! You're videos helped out a LOT
Oh, my God. this video increasingly makes me to keep using free applications such as Medibang paint and Krita. Thank you very much Mr. Walter, I'm getting excited. By the way, the template can be opened in Medibang Paint, I really like thank you very much.
These free programs are insanely powerful and do typical processes in interesting ways. It with it's own flaws. And there is no reason not to use several apps to take advantage of each strengths. Saving a file as a Photoshop file, like my template, should allow you to open the file with all the layers in any program. The only thing to be careful with is when you have lettering and vector art (like shapes), it may get rasterized (non-vector)
@@walterostlie Oh i see 😊
Can i ask how you opened the template in medibang?
@@nicoleannebeltrano1912 It's a PSD file, I believe that will open up fine in Medibang. Then just save it as a Medibang file after that. Just download the template, extract the PSD file from the ZIP file you just downloaded, and open the PSD with Medibang.
Walter Ostlie thank you for answering! Nice tutorials btw it helps me a lot!
This was incredibly helpful! I've been using Krita for a long time now so I was wondering how to create webtoons using it! Very good and helpful video!
I was making a webtoon on Krita a few weeks ago but gave up because it looked terrible, thanks to you I have confidence to start again. I know we've just met but I think I love you. Thank you.
Aw, love you too. Good luck making your comic again. I wanna see it when you post it.
I have watched this video about 20 times and finally uploaded the first part of my very first webcomic "Graveyard Grounds." Thanks so much for your videos. I love watching them! Hugs.
Thanks for all the watches. Really liked the start of your story. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! It's like you read my mind
Magic mind connection!
thank you so much! I've been stressing a lot about not having the money to pay for the license for CSP but still wanting to create a webtoon with my friend, so this video is a lifesaver
YOU EVEN INCLUDED THE FONTS WEBSITE this is great :)
I just started drawing using both Medibang and Krita. Medibang for drawing and coloring my characters, making panels, and Krita for the background. I still need some refinement since I'm only using a mouse. Also, the saving part with Krita since I'm losing some layers.
Yeah, I jump around between clipstudio and photoshop because I like coloring and lettering more in photoshop. I always have to be careful going between programs, because either one will mess up lettering and styles.
Thanks a lot, my friends and I just decided to start making a webtoon and I'm the only artist in the group (they have really high expectations) and I use Krita, and, as someone who has never made a webtoon before this was really helpful!
Glad it helped. Tell your lazy friends to learn how to draw!
Even if I work with Krita for so long I still learned some new things here, thanks :D
thank you so much for this! i'm planning to make a webtoon on krita but wasn't sure about the template and sizes and this was very helpful!
Just become a teacher already😅😂😂
thank you so muchhhhhhhhhhhh
i was stuck on how to transport it onto webtoons and this helped a ton
i feel so smart knowing how to do this now your the best😄😄😄
Thank you for going through the whole process with detail this helps a lot!!!
Your channel is a blessing! I'm so excited to start working on my webtoon!!
Thanks and good luck! Let me know if you run into any problems.
Thank you for all the videos you do on Webtoon! I really appreciate them :)
Thanks for saying that. I appreciate you watching them.
Omgggg you're amazinnnng, I was looking for videos like this, you helped me a lot, thanks!!! 😍😍😍😍
Awesome Tutorial Walter. Thanks for putting some frank real life advice into making personal comics.
Kind of like having a creative consultant on call. Very valuable. Subbed.
Thanks, Shawn! Appreciate the kind words and the sub.
I wanted to make comics and looking for a software and I stumbled on krita but didn't know how. Thank you so much for your tutorials it just help me so much for starting my comic.
That's great! Have fun making your comic. Let me know if you run into any questions.
Thank you for this tutorial! I've been struggling with Krita for some time now :)
I hope it's helpful. Krita took me a bit to get used to. It feels very different than photoshop and clipstudio.
Ugh thank God, someone else uses Krita, I’ll be subscribing, hopefully I learn some stuff from your channel, thank you
Your channel is super helpful! Thank you so much for sharing all this knowledge for free with us ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Im more shocked that instead of copying your youtube link you chose to type it by hand. Also thank you, I wanted to do one for a long time with krita
this was incredibly helpful, thank you so much :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
VERY, VERY IMPRSSIVE. AWESOME. So much work and good job in this video BRO. Thanks
I find this very helpful. I'm a newbie to digital art and I am still learning Krita. I rarely see tutorials for webtoon using Krita. Thank you for the very informative video. 🥰🥰🥰
A lot of people asked, so it seemed like a good idea. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I could tell you spent a considerable amount of time making this video. I like how structured this is - much thought has been put into this 👍. I still have to navigate through the Krita interphase a little more though. Please keep making videos like this in the future. 🤩
Another great video! You always have the best advice and tips!
Thank you very much!
this video is so helpful! thank you so much
oh my gosh im really early!! ill comment again once i finish this video, thank you so much for this!
I posted this one a little later in the day than normal. Hope you liked it.
This was immensely helpful; thank you so much!
Your videos are always helpful and simple. Keep making great videos :D
Just type in a zero. Let me know if that doesn't work. Thanks for watching!
This is very helpful. Thank you so much for all your videos 💙
Thank you very much for watching.
You video helped me so much!!!
thank you so much i had no idea how to import the files i had into webtoon but thanks to you i can finally actually upload it
Awesome! What's your webtoon?
@@walterostlie its currently still in production but I'm close to finishing it
Heyy thank you for this video I was wasting a lot of time and energy because I didn't know a lot of these tips! I'm really grateful :')) sending some love your way !
Appreciate that, thanks!
Thank you so much! Your video helped me make my own webtoon! :-D
Thank you so much for making this video and making the template 😭😭😭
My pleasure, have fun making comics!
Thanks so much for all your hard work both on CZcams and on webtoon
Thanks for watching!
Walter Ostlie I tried to download the file you so awesomely shared but my Krita won't work with it... can you tell me the size it is so I can try to diy my own? Or is there something else I should try? It lagged up my computer and froze. I want to enter in the contest but am having a hard time with getting it laid out and was really looking forward to trying your template (again you're awesome and thanks for sharing!!) but my computer says no.... no worries if you don't have a solution but thought I'd ask just in case. Thanks again for all you do and for your support to all of us who are trying.
Thank you, this video is really usefull for me
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS
Thank you for watch as always!
This was really helpful!! Thanks so much :D
Happy to help
Thanks for the video! I like how you try to teach with different things but related to comic so we can have more information about everything.
But tbh i am a bit discouraged for the short story contest webtoon has got a percentage even for the audience which other webtoon creators have a big advantage of, even if we small creators work hard can't get to that level and I work super hard on each and every episode with the devices and things i have but i am really disappointed in myself rn...
It takes time to build up a large audience. Try not to pay attention to that. Especially when you are first starting, you need to focus on your craft and your story. Make that really good, eventually the numbers will go up. Besides the amount of viewers you have isn't going to win or lose you the contest. Your comic is what will win or lose the contest. The audience participation (not amount of viewers notice) is just a way to let Webtoon hear more than just their own opinion.
THANKYOU SO MUCH
So, I’m just starting. I’m behind the power curve when it comes to using software because I just got into making my stuff digitally. Mostly all was drawn in Adobe Fresco, but that’s as far as I got because I can’t figure out how to put those separate images into panel form.
I've never tried Fresco before. Take a run at Medibang, it may be similar to Adobe enough for you to get up to speed faster. Of course if you want to buy a decent, fairly priced software, you can't beat clipstudio
how am i just now seeing this ;-; thankyou so freaking much luv!
Thanks for watching, hope it's a big help!
OHHHH THIS IS A BIG HELP THANK YOUUUUUUUUU
You'rr always so helpfull!!
I'm really happy that I am able to help.
This is my new bible. Thank you
Thank you for the tip about "Pencinkeling", my dumb@ss has been sketching the ENTIRE chapter first, then inking when I should have been doing both at the same time.
I mean, I totally understand needing to pencil. but sometimes I think it can be a safety net that we spend a little tooooo much time knitting.
@@walterostlie You're exactly right, and that's my biggest issue right now. I spend so much time penciling and I even end up putting detail in it which is a habit I either need to break OR just Pencinkel it.
Once again, a great and useful video! I work in Krita myself. This is a great program with many cool features, but the text tool really drives me crazy 😱
Yeah, it was driving me nuts too. I love photoshop's lettering, but I am starting to fall in love with Clip, but it sucks for Sound effects.
@@walterostlie I tried the clip too, but for some reason I was very confused in the interface. Well, everything has its advantages and disadvantages))
@@VanJLevent Same here. Clip has a bit of a learning curve. I had to force myself to use it. But not that I have, it makes a lot of sense. Just a few days of pain spent setting it up exactly how I wanted.
@@walterostlie Hmm .. Maybe I should try it again for the sake of comics. Do you think it can be used for painted backgrounds? Like in Gibli, for example?
Thanks this helped me, I'm planning on making a webtoon but I'm really confused on what other apps to use to make a webtoon, especially because I use a laptop and I'm look for good apps to make one.
Yeah, there are so many apps out there that are great and free. It's pretty amazing. It's good to try them all out and see which works best for you.
Please make another webtoon tutorial with krita!! You are very helpful, Thanks! 😄😄
Firstly thankyou so much for these videos so helpful and inspiring but I was wondering why you don't work in individual panels that are to the exact dimensions needed?
yah literally u saved me :D ty
Thanks for always posting useful informations for us🤩🤩 I hope you will start another webcomic on webtoon!
( also can you do the medibang next time?)
Thank you. Yes, I will start looking into medibang.
Or...... you could go with the first option and do make a file for each page. Krita has prepared templates for you to use and if you dont want that you could use custom sizes. For example for manga i use 1500 by 2100 which is standard manga size. But thats only if you want to make pages with panels and not single panels in each page.
ive been working in krita for nearly a year now and the only huge issue ive had with it, considering its a free program, is how laggy it tends to be if you use their filtering systems and my biggest issue is when drawing my comic i have to work on a maximum of 5 panels at a time or the program crashes, otherwise i highly reccomend it :)
I had some problems with crashes also. It seems like they update the program often though. So hopefully it keeps getting better.
Thanks again dude. I'm actually planning to start a webtoon soon .. I already watched yur past vids about webtoon and they are great. A question tho. Is colored comic the ideal for webtoon? I actually was going to do blacl and white with some hue shifts for the shadows.. what are your thoughts? Tnx
Color is usually the go to, it tends to make things pop and make it easier for the reader to see objects. However, all manga is black and white and it sells a crap ton, so there's nothing that says your comic will fail if you don't use color. You just have to make sure you use your shadows and tones wisely to make sure things are clear to the reader. I've always used color cause my art just doesn't work well as b/w. I'd say stick with your vision and your gut.
Hey the new file you used to like transfer the work you did on the old file can't we just draw on the new file or can you like give a specific custom document that falls under the max size for webtoon upload so you can just draw on the new file and not transferring???? I hope the question is not confusing 😅
This was so helpful. I have been having the hardest time with lettering (especially with word bubbles) XD
Happy it helped!
@@walterostlie Oh, it beyond helped. It saved me 💯
Your content is amazing and honestly I would not have been able to begin to create a comic had I not seen your vids!
Thank you so much ✨👍
Thank youuu!
Dude thanks sooooo much
You're a lifesaver!!
Please do some more krita vids
Thanks for watching! Let me know if you run into any specific questions about Krita and I'll try to help.
@@walterostlie can you do a video on how to draw webtoons by getting linearts from traditional and then using it on krita for the rest of the processings?? It would be extremely helpful for many
yessss thank uuuuu for this
Thank you for this.
Thanks for watching.
thank u bro
Great video! 😊👍
Thanks!
@@walterostlie Anytime!
Hi! I tried using the template and I couldn't figure out how to get rid of all the text in order for it to be blank and ready to use. Could you possibly tell me how to make a blank template the way you used it for this video? Like just if you can tell me how wide and long in px to make it and how to make the pink columns, that would be great.
Thanks for the tutorial! When I get started, I'll leave a few links back to your channel and videos. I also have one question? Are you allowed to make a fan made story? Or does it always have to be your own original story?
Technically, at least legally speaking, you are not allowed to make fan comics. You could always ask the creator for permissions. But in reality, most people are going to come after you for making a fan comic, unless you are doing something bad or making tons of money. However, I'd suggest taking your fan comic idea, and tweaking it to be your own story and your own characters, it's much more rewarding. But if you're doing it just for fun, I don't think anyone will complain if you're making a fan comic, but technically you're not supposed to.
IMPECABLE....
You're the best.
You're so good i want to learn moreeee sir! I'm a newbie
I want drawing tablet but I'm poor
Thanks! Yea, those drawing tablets can be expensive, the cheapest I've seen is about $40. Maybe mow some lawns or clean some windows?
@@walterostlie thank you sir!!! I ordered huion hs64 a while ago , that's the cheapest one I bought for now huhuhu , I'm still learning but yeahhh I'll do my best sir!
i was hoping to do a manga but i think webtoon will be perfect for me, i draw anime and manga style anyway. i practice drawing with a manga artists style i follow.
Very cool. Have fun making your webtoon!
thanks !!!
My pleasure.
ive been wanting to do this forever and finally got a new computer that's compatible with my drawing tablet
Awesome! Congrats and have fun!
appreciate the template file, really useful stuff
My pleasure, let me know if you have any questions.
Once i download the template, how do i use it on krita? I cant open it.
it downloads as .clip
hey what's sup. just wonder what's a good size to use the template on?
After i fill in the blue box and change it to multiply in the coloring portion it looks great. But when I try to fill clouds white, all it does is make the whole box white again. Idk what im doing wrong.
Can you please make a tutorial like this for "Fire Alpaca" cuz i use this programm and maybe you could give me some tips for it cuz i kinda suck with all this kinda stuff
Nice
Hi so I downloaded your template (it’s very useful by the way) but every time I try to save it and leave it just doesn’t save and I have to restart. I’ve tried everything and I’m not sure how to keep it
Are you make videos about to create manga with krita? I don't know use to this programme
Hey! Thanks for your video I've been doing a webtoon recently but I'm in trouble ! I really don't understand how to have a normal size with my lettering, it's the only thing I don't undesrtand currently and I can't move on until I fix it. Even after watched your video again and again 😭
What do you mean by normal size. Like the size of your font? Watch this video at 23:25 minutes in. It's not using Krita, but you can use the same technique to figure out a good size to use. czcams.com/video/o0f4ZS8__EU/video.html
@@walterostlie I've finally found a solution ! Thanks for responding. By normal size I mean something that fit the bubbles speech. The size of the text was way too big and I couldn't make something clean because of it. But now I get it, Thanks to your video.
What about making a webtoon from already sketched drawing and comic using krita?
Wow. His artwork's pretty great. It's trashy here, but check out his webtoon comic Ghost Bats (in description).
His comic book actually displays his talent. It's super good looking. I'm definitely saving this to watch later.
hah hah
Great vids as always, very informative! ,Anyway I don't know if you gonna read this or not but I'm gonna ask anyway, can you maybe make a video how to draw War Scene/Battle Scene that involved lots of people, I am currently working on my own comic but struggled with drawing battle scene that involved more than 5 person, btw thank you so much! your video makes me write comics again.
Glad I am helping! Yeah, battles scenes are pretty annoying. I'll add it to my list of videos to do, thanks for the suggestion. The easiest thing is to figure out your ground plan, what's everyone standing on. Then draw boxes or blobs standing on that ground to represent the people. Once the blobs look "right" then just start replacing them with drawings of human people. It helps to take reference photos for these types of scenes since there are so many poses, taking reference photos of your self will help keep your sanity.
I’m trying to download Walter’s template thing, but I can’t open it, it says Keira doesn’t support this file format. Is there anything I can do? Or any other thing I can use to have that template??
how can i find the opacity controller please
hi why does everytime i see my artwork through my phone it looks so thin and low quality??? but not on my pc
How do I add the template into the canvas
So I tried downloading your file but it says it’s “unsafe” wondering what I should do. Just use the file by file way instead of the template? Edit: never mind I found it out! Excited to start working! Have a great one and may GOD bless you all! ^_^
Cool 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Thanks for watching!
how do you import the template into krita?
