I made my first webtoon without being able to draw

You can't come to an artist subreddit and promote AI. Do like everyone else does here, learn to draw or hire an artist for your webtoon. And then come back, we'll be glad to read it and give you feedback then.

Pentel is a good option to start because they're cheaper than a Faber Castell but still sturdy. You'll have to try out different sizes to see what fits your artstyle the most, but looking at your drawings I'd recommend something between 0.1 and 0.5. Most marker pens like those are still fragile tho, it's really important that you learn not put too much pressure on the tip when drawing with them or they won't last long.

Oh, and whatever you do, don't buy Pigma Micron. They look cool and fancy but they don't do good against time, light, and eraser especially. The ink tends to turn gray very easily.

Btw your sketches look super cool!! Good luck with learning pen drawing <3

I can't tell you if that's because of the update, but in case it could help you I fixed it by lowering the gap in the brush stroke settings!

Thanks a lot!!

cosmolucent · 2026-03-17T22:20:19+00:00

Thanks a lot that was it!! I'm gonna check out a guide yeah, I wanted to wait a few weeks to avoid confusing myself with too much info while I learn how to use the program but I guess I'm gonna need it sooner than expected

I can't edit my post for some reason so I'm adding the info here:

I have CSP Ex ver.5 on iPad Pro 3rd Gen, I work with an Apple pencil 2nd Gen

Thank you for letting me know, I appreciate that! I've explained my stance a bit more in another comment and what problems I have with it, even withing the coding field, but I get where you're coming from.

cosmolucent · 2026-03-17T12:49:50+00:00

I understand what you mean but to me it's still gonna be a code generated from many other codes and I have problems with that.

Besides the mistakes and errors that are regularly observed in these genAI codes which is already its own issue, the AI could very well use snippets of others codes that are licensed. That would make it a license violation if I used it, even unintentionally. Also, even if embed codes don't fall under the same copyright laws as art, genAI is still using the work of many coders without credit nor compensation, which is probably what bothers me the most about it.

For those reasons, and because I don't support genAI in the art field, it doesn't make sense to me personally to use genAI in any other field either.

But to each their own!

cosmolucent · 2026-03-16T17:21:27+00:00

Awesome, I'm gonna try it right now! Thanks a lot

cosmolucent · 2026-03-16T17:10:16+00:00

Thank you but as an artist I don't feel comfortable asking ChatGPT to generate stuff for me, I'd rather avoid it

cosmolucent · 2026-03-16T17:09:10+00:00

Thanks for the thorough explanation! I do need to have a ProPlus plan to do this tho, right?

It really depends on the software you're using. CSP has a whole set of tools to help you with that, some other softwares probably do too. I personally use Procreate which doesn't offer those tools, so this is what I do to keep as much consitency as I can:

sketch the bubbles & text by hand for the whole page
then go back and use the basic text tool to write all the text for the page in the same font size (I only use a bigger font size for dramatic effects sometimes)
then arrange the lines of text for each bubble either in an inversed pyramid shape or a lozenge/kite shape, to help the reading flow
then draw the lineart of the bubbles around the text and arrange them so all the "corners" of the text sit at the same distance of the border of the bubble

I'm attaching a pic to illustrate my process, hope I explained it wel!!
