The Ins and Outs of Webcomics, comic page. "What is a webcomic?" 6 small panels show various ways people draw comic panels; steamy bubbles, speech bubbles, beat panels, hatching, sound effects, and motion. Jey is sat at a computer and gestures to a comic page on the monitor while saying "A webcomic is a comic that you self-publish online to your own website, a dedicated platform, or social media. They're usually free to read and don't take a lot of resources to create. There's no set style or genre in webcomics so there's infinite possibilities on what kind of story you can tell." Jey says "Webcomics can be made with minimal resources. What you use is up to you and your comfort level. One tool is not inherently better than the other, so it comes down to preference." While holding pens and a drawing display under their arm. "You can go traditional: pencils, pens, ink, and paper" the panel shows these items next to a pros and cons list. "Pros: tactile feel, screenless, whole comic vie." "Cons: can be messy, harder to edit, added scanning and clean-up" "Or you can do digital: a computer, tablet, & art programs" showing these next to the pros and cons list. "Pros: no mess, scanning, or clean-up, infinite tools & brushes, shortcuts & ctrl-z" "Cons: more screentime, more expensive, requires charging or electricity"
