How to make a webtoon background with sketchup



Sketch-up background creation for webtoons
Did you know that it's gaining a lot of popularity?


Due to the recent leaps and bounds in the webtoon market The size of the sketch-up modeling market optimized for webtoon backgrounds is getting bigger and bigger.

From funding to selling webtoon backgrounds, demand is so high that there are separate specialty shopping malls, and it is a field that is emerging to the extent that even webtoon academies have established courses as a single subject.



Why do you need to make a webtoon background with sketchup!


As the size of the webtoon market grew, deadlines were shortened, while a lot of work and high quality were desired.

The biggest stress in this situation is the pressure of the deadline.

A hand-drawn background or a photo-edited background takes a long time to create, but the biggest drawback is that the background you've painstakingly drawn is only used for that one shot.

If I needed a background with a different angle, I had no choice but to draw an additional background with a different composition, even in the same space.


BUT! If you create a background for a webtoon using SketchUp, you can solve this problem!


  • First of all, SketchUp is a modeling program that even beginners can easily use.
  • If you create a background with sketch-up, you can create a background with a variety of compositions with high quality.
  • It is essential for managing production schedules and working efficiently in line with deadlines.
  • Once the background has been created, you can easily modify and use information such as the angle, weather, and time you want.

In other words, you can save money and time on creating webtoon backgrounds without losing quality.

For these reasons, the sketch-up background market for webtoons is growing at a tremendous pace.







Create your own background for your work!

In this class, I'm not just delivering a sketch-up tutorial, but I've been creating many works over the years Know-how learned in practiceI'd like to let you know about them.

Because if you create a sketch-up model once, you can use it for an unlimited number of times in my webtoon work A very useful weapon for people who make webtoonsIt's going to be.


The most important thing is to set standards for sketch-up modeling.


It is only when standards are clearly set that I can be confident about my work, and no matter how much the scale of the work grows, the overall balance is not lost.

Therefore, there are many things not only for beginners who are new to sketchup, but also for those who have already learned basic tools and functions Helpful classes to help reduce trial and error and unnecessary waste of timeIt is.



Generate additional income through shopping malls or funding

If I become a professional producer, sell my sketch-up work Earn money every monthYou can also do it.

Actually, too Selling backgrounds for webtoons Specialty shopping mallsin Many artists are in the process of selling, and in the case of large projects that take a long time to work on, you can also proceed with funding to receive support for the execution costs.



The image above is a list of sales actually being sold in a shopping mall.

If I create a marketable work, the shopping mall will automatically generate revenue even if I don't care at all.






Sketchup background creation for beginners A to Z


# Strong from the beginning

Even big projects eventually start with a single model.

As you build a house, you can naturally learn basic tools, functions, and rules for maintaining balance.

It's not difficult! However, this is not something that can be roughly skipped.

All modeling is created by applying basic tools, so I'll give you a solid explanation of this part.



# Create a texture that can express your personality

Just because it's a 3D work, not every artist's work is the same. Just as painting has its own style, 3D modeling also has its own style.

The part that can best express that part is texture mapping.


We'll show you everything from creating and applying textures using photographs.




# Components that always look at the camera

This function is often used mainly when placing trees or extras in works.

Just because it's a 3D work, I don't recommend creating even trees in 3D.

If the look is simple, it will be awkward; if it is complicated, the model may become unnecessarily heavy, making work difficult.

Furthermore, when applied to the work, there is a strong sense of heterogeneity called 3D, which can damage the atmosphere of the work.


Everyone's method of drawing a tree may be different, but I'll show you everything from creating an image to applying it in a simple way.




# Inserting dynamic elements that open and close doors

I will tell you about dynamic element insertion methods and characteristics that are useful when creating situations.




# Setting tags (layers)

I will tell you the tag settings and characteristics that you must know in order to create a comfortable structure.




# Complete the image

I'll show you how to extract sketch-up images and create images with the desired mood even with simple tasks.



# Other than this How to maintain the balance of the work and some small tipsI'll let you know about them.

# Go ahead Even how to earn money by selling my work I'll guide you.

Hello! I'm Sempre Blu, which creates sketch-up models for webtoons.


In the past, when I was working as a webtoon writer, I was curious about the fact that there were only a few days left after planning a story and finishing the storyline, and I was passionate about drawing. However, it was a dream story to be able to draw a beautiful background in a daunting time just by drawing people.

So I couldn't afford a background assistant at the time, so I was clumsily editing photos or spending hours drawing by hand.

When I finished the work like that, my characters were working in a clumsy place that was different from the place I had envisioned.

“This isn't it...”That thought didn't leave my head, After all, background production was my biggest weakness.


Looking for ways to make up for weaknesses sketchupI found a program called

I admired how it fits in with comics without feeling uncomfortable, and the fact that it can be used infinitely in a single task came as the biggest appeal. However, sketchup wasn't used much in the webtoon industry at the time, and most people didn't know about it. So I had no choice but to study on my own, so I dug in even more stubbornly.

As a result, I don't really draw pictures now, but I fell in love with the appeal of creating the world I had imagined, which was my biggest weakness The production of 'webtoon backgrounds' has become our greatest strength.


In my class, I had questions about while studying on my own, and I constantly asked myself, “Why should I do this? , how far do I have to go? , How long should I do? ' I'd like to share the answers I've found to the same questions.

I hope that many people who have experienced the problems and pain I have experienced can see that making a background, which was difficult and difficult, is actually a more fun job than they thought, and furthermore, it can be a strength to be proud of.

Join me and immerse yourself in the world of making webtoon backgrounds with SketchUp!
