Using compositional guides like the golden rule of thirds works perfectly for beginner webtoon comic artist who donโt quite have that natural eye for panel image balancing and spacing.
Here is a Comic Panel template from Making Comics Golden Ratio Blog post
Webtoon Comic pages are basically comic panels stacked on top of each other in a vertical format which makes for easy vertical scrolling on mobile devices.
While I was staring at my manga supplies (because I have a art supplies hoarding addition so I just store supplies and never use it but eventually I willโฆ.I just need to come up with the perfect story!)
I digresss thoughโฆ.so while I was staring at my manga supplies I noticed something interesting on the manga paper.
There are rulers on there and not only rulers but little check marks and guess what those markings can be used for!?
Thatโs right, Panel placement! I never realized this before!
All those years of struggling trying to figure out how to place my comic panels both digitally and traditionallyโฆ..
Either way I said all that to say that you can also utilize these ruler markers thatโs found on manga paper to place your panels if youโre a traditional webtoon comic artist!
Top Manga Comic paper to use
My current favorite that has those tiny guide markers is this brand called DELETER and ICY
I live in the middle of Iowa so there arenโt really any nearby art stores and if there are any they usually donโt carry comic suppliesโฆ.which is sad but thatโs okay because thatโs why we have the internet!
Here are a few places you can order your manga supplies from and also if youโre looking for art supplies in general then I recommend Blick art supplies!
For one Blick has so many sales so it doesnโt break the bank (unless you have an art addiction like meโฆ..) and two when I ordered from them they had such fast delivery!
Who doesnโt love opening up a box of manga and art supplies! Iโm getting super pumped just thinking about it!
Any whodoodle I let me know some of your art supplies additions and how you go about spacing out your webtoon comic panels!
What should you do next?
