MY TIDBITS

With clarity and examples, these pages lead comic beginners into the world of WEBTOONS and writing graphic novels, in general.

I was afraid that this book might steer too heavily into the WEBTOON world to be of much use to anyone going to a more general direction, but I was happily surprised. Of course, these pages center on WEBTOONS. There's a thorough explanation surrounding the vertical scroll comic and how its used as well as tips and tricks on how to keep this format in mind during creation of a comic series. And all of the examples given are works stemming from WEBTOONS. Plus, it goes over the details on their format, submission policies, what they offer creators (not overly detailed), and the history as well as 'mission' of WEBTOONS. But this book goes further, too.

The entire creation process is studied in a quick but understandable way. Starting with the importance of knowing what the creator's goals and thoughts are, this then leads through the steps of the writing and creation process. From plot and character formations to knowing the audience to plot flow and details, this covers general story-writing steps, which are used in most forms of tale creation. It also goes through story-board organization, pitfalls when choosing/forming scenes, and much more. Then, there are suggestions surrounding software, design, and such as well. There are also several activities and various forms included to help creators really go through the steps themselves and see what works for them or not.

The entire thing is understandable and written in a grabbing way. There are plenty of examples and illustrations included, which not only make the information clear but keep it enjoyable and upbeat. It's a well-rounded book, which is great for those wanting to dip their toes into WEBTOONS but also helpful for creators, who want to go different directions too.
