HOW TO GET YOUR COMIC NOTICED | webcomics FAQ

hey guys! some of you might not know this, but it was actually through my webcomic that I started to gain traction on Youtube, not the other way around. so I thought today I would talk about all that I've learned drawing these 170+ pages of Unfamiliar, things I wished I knew from the start and how I tackle the endless grind of making a long story page by page on the internet.

∆The Unfamiliar Shirts are here!∆

"you probably shouldn't wait a whole year"
*looks at the comic idea I've had since 2015*

Lavender: *mentions unfamiliar*
Me: Fastest click in the west

[briarrose]

I've had the same story in my head for 4 years....I think it's time to make it real lol

Yall in the comments keep in mind writing a comic isn't only "motivation", it's also discipline. There are gonna be hard days.

[cheezeex]

But like the time and effort that goes into making comics. I just can’t. Like imagine being THAT motivated. This woman has got some talent ngl.

[beanutputter]

Imagine having enough motivation to make an entire comic-
I wish :(

"Use your own handwriting"
Me, who can barely read my own writing: wait no

Me, who still hasn't drawn something decent: *PANIK*

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how much time she puts into youtube for us? You can tell the amount of effort she puts into her videos and it’s honestly really amazing! Thanks for starting a channel and brightening all of our days 🥳💕

dont mind me, , just getting tips for writing a 40 page story for a school assignment-

[gummygyaru]

Oh boy. Motivation. *lights a cigarette* Haven’t heard of her in years....

[LUINEITOR]

Thanks!! I prepared all the story in real life papers like a "map", I love the story so now the characters are the ones I make as I draw the pages :D I haven't posted anything yet... And I'm really scared to do so :( I don't wanna have everything planned out and don't get people reading my comic... And also I want to upload it in my own web page :3 I don't know if you could give me some advices on that? (I know yours are on tapas but... I don't know)

[WCHarts]

The way she talked about keeping a character consistent is exactly how you improv well. You ALWAYS want to know what they want at least, and that helps progress the plot. It’s great advice!

[pappanalab]

God I've can't believe it's been almost 4 years since I found this channel. Like I remember when the "Do this not that" for drawing hair came out. It feels like that was just a few months ago lol.

It's a rule: You can't click off the video until she says "Leblehblehbleh"

[sigamigs]

It's amazing seeing Unfamiliar's success!! Here's hoping to an eventual physical release!

[mochiloki]

Unfamiliar video !! :D

Unfamiliar is genuinely such a good comic. It’s so pretty and the backgrounds are cool and the character relationships are so sweet :]

How lavender explains how to script—USE A STORY SKELETON
Me: has 5 seasons of my webtoon
Me: I’m sorry que???

[ghulbunni]

This really helped! I'm making a comic about magical girls and the struggle of living up to the generation before, the corrupted media, and learning to accept yourself!

Time to finally stop procrastinating on my comic ig
