November 1st, 2018. Project: Create A Webtoon

So this month I'm creating a comic and I'll be posting it to Webtoon. Webtoon is a comic uploading site, it's completely free to use. When Posting a comic I'll be using the recommended sizing of 160px by 151px per page with a max of 499kb of information.

I've never actually created a comic before so I have no clue what I'll be doing till I do it. So I'll be starting page one today.

To start with I created a rough sketch of the first panel. I want this first chapter to be the main character's nightmare, I don't want the readers to know everything about them though so I'll be leaving key things out. I'm trying to give it a fragmented feeling, to increase curiosity.

For one of the parts I need a more frightening text so I'm going to try downloading a new font to Clip Studio Paint.

Okay made a discovery, though I did learn how to find and download new assets though Clip Studio Paint's asset menu, they didn't have any fonts. So I went to the internet and found out that (site link here) Clip Studio Paint takes fonts from the available fonts in windows. So I downloaded the font I wanted (font site here)...

... and tranfered it to the windows fonts folder with help from my teacher. I restarted Clip Studio Paint and when I reopened it it was there.

So I used that to write the text.

That's where I'll stop today, Tomorrow I'll add the page background and start the drawing.
