How many pages?

[Klaustasya]

Simply straight to the question: how many pages do you use to make a Webtoon/Webcomic episode? Because i never used the vertical scroll format before and have no idea about how many panels can you put in one page to make the text and the images visible.

personally i just use one page per upload, as i hate reading comics that go on and on and you end up feeling the end of the pages will never come.

It's up to personnel preference to how many pages are in a webcomic episode. Whatever works well with you.

I personnel found that a page per episode works well since it gets more eyes on you instead of updating the one and only episode, since it gets you on the new released section of either TAPAS or Webtoons. Much more views doing it this way, plus it doesn't get your readers feeling too overwhelmed with a massive story that seems to continue forever..

As for panels per page, I say just do an experiment with the dimensions you are already using. Check it out on your phone or your computer, and if it's unreadable, change it up and re-upload it to see if it looks better. You can always delete your test, plus its much easier doing this instead of having to muck around with a proper comic page.
Check out how others handle panel sizes, you can always learn from different peoples layouts.

We used to do one page per update, too, but that was more of an issue of how fast we could produce pages. Usually, readers expect at least 15 frames per episode, normally - 30-60. How many of your pages does it take to hit that threshold depends on your page layout.

We do about 25 panels. Seems a nice number, not too long and not too short.

One page per upload, and since I do a format that's printing-friendly, about 5 to 8 panels. I'm not quick enough to make multiple pages a week yet and this project isn't so essental to finish I'd risk any hand injuries over it.

I think I've been doing rough ten pages per update, give or take a little. I did one as small as 3 pages when I was on vacation lol

I do vertical scroll with a pretty boring panel layout, I never put 2 panels next to each other. I tend to upload about 15 panels per episode, each page having 4-5 panels, on average that would make 4 pages every update (But I don't know if you can call them pages because they're supposed to interlock with each other). I will try mix up my layout in the future, but it works for my story so far.

As of current I do two pages a week(if lucky since I'm still in art summer camp season for work rip) I used to do up to 4 pages. Sometimes a bit more though that's usually when I end off the chapter.

but as everyone said, its more what you're comfortable with, I believe for Tapas I notice that others are more into 1 page updates or somewhere under 5 pages per update and for scrolls it be around 10-20.

I do agree if there's a scroll comic or chapter that is long, it may seem like it take forever unless you got pretty invested to the story.

And you have patience with the pages loading... cuz sometimes with internet lags or app being wonky on rare occasions, that can ruin the fun.

I do two pages per update. I usually have 4 to 6 panels per page. I don't do the vertical scroll, the pages are like the ones you'd find in a comic book. It was a personal thing; one page updates irritate me especially if I like the series.

One page. Sometimes a page and a half.

[Klaustasya]

Are the pages that you us the biggest size allowed by Tapas?

[imiogri]

Yep! I'm not planning on printing so it works for me.

I'm always looking for a chance to recommend this so here goes

The creator of Space Boy put up a post explaining how he draws in regular page format but just rearranges the panels to Webtoon format later. He says he averages about 14-22 pages.

Something that might help is looking at print runs of Webtoon comics and comparing the print versions to the scroll versions.

Here's an example of the comic Sithrah.

Page Verison

Webtoon Version

The creator of Sithrah even uploaded a video explaining how he converts stuff.

Because i never used the vertical scroll format before and have no idea about how many panels can you put in one page to make the text and the images visible.

here's a tutorial made by the webtoon teams about this subject specifically
