# Webtoon

> Create character designs and scene illustration assets for webtoon production.

This guide focuses on creating 'illustration assets' needed for webtoon production, not 'completing' a webtoon. With Carat AI, you can plan characters, create storyboards, and generate consistent illustrations.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Planning (worldview and characters)">
    Plan the settings and character designs that form the backbone of your webtoon with AI.

    **Request ideas:**

    ```text theme={null}
        I want to create a romance fantasy webtoon. Suggest 3 worldviews, plot summaries, and characters.
    ```

    **Generate character:**

    ```text theme={null}
        Great. Design the female protagonist character in 'Korean webtoon style', 9:16 ratio using worldview #1.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Plan storyboard">
    Plan detailed panel composition for episode 1 as text (script).

    ```text theme={null}
        Create a 6-panel storyboard for episode 1 using the character just created. Specify scene description, composition, and character placement for each panel in detail.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate illustrations">
    Generate illustrations consistently based on the planned content.

    ```text theme={null}
        Generate all 6 planned panels at once. Apply the character appearance description planned earlier exactly. Also, use the character image generated earlier as a reference image to maintain character consistency. Use the Nanobanana image model. Never include text or speech bubbles.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Generate dialogue/sound effect text">
    Receive dialogue and sound effects to overlay on the generated panel images as separate text.

    ```text theme={null}
        Analyze the 6 panel illustrations just created and write fitting dialogue and sound effects as text only, matched to panel numbers.
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Post-editing">
    Take the 'illustration assets' and 'text' generated with Carat AI to a separate editing tool like Photoshop or Clip Studio, where you arrange panels and insert speech bubbles to complete the final webtoon.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **Text generation limitations**

  Currently, AI cannot perfectly draw text or speech bubbles within images. This guide focuses on creating 'illustration assets', and we recommend post-editing with separate editing tools for text work.
