Choose an art style

Overview

An art style decides how your comic is drawn: line weight, coloring, the shape of the eyes, and so on. Your characters stay the same people. GenToon has a large collection of styles organized by category, and you can also upload a picture to use its style. Choosing a style is free.

Where you choose

How to pick a style

1. Choose a category from the tabs at the top of the list. Clicking a tab opens a larger window with that category’s styles. There’s an All tab plus genre tabs like Insta Comics, Romance, and Fantasy. Once you’ve picked a style, a Recent tab appears, and once you’ve starred one, a ⭐ Favorites tab appears too.

3. In the Draw your webtoon in this style? window, click Draw in this style to lock it in, or See other styles to keep looking.

Draw in your characters' default style

To keep the style your characters were created in, choose the first card in the style list, Your character's default style. It’s the same card in the agent chat and in the Single Panel tab. Each character is then drawn in the style they were made in, and no new style versions of your characters are made, so there’s no extra cost.

Upload your own style

1. In the tabs at the top of the style list, click the My style tab. When the larger style window opens, click Upload. If you’ve already uploaded a style, click the Add New Style tile instead.

2. Choose a picture drawn in the style you want. Only the way it’s drawn is used, not the people in it.

3. Your uploaded style is saved in the My style tab. To use it now, click it and then click Draw in this style. You can pick it again from this tab next time.

Drawing a character in a new style for the first time

Each character’s reference art is drawn in the style they were created in. So when a character appears in a comic with a chosen style and there’s no version of that character for the style yet, a new version is made for that style. This costs 13 credits per character. Once made, a version is reused at no extra cost unless you delete it. But a different look (outfit, hair, or age) gets its own version, even in the same style. And depending on how a character was made, for example in the Create tab on the left or on the app’s character creation screen, a version is made the first time even when you draw them in the style you picked when creating them.

To see the versions of a character drawn in different styles, find the character in the Create tab on the left of the Studio, click Details, then open Art style. If you delete a version there, it’s made again, and charged again, the next time you draw in that style. Each character can hold only a limited number of style versions. Once that limit is reached, no new versions are made: you aren’t charged, but a newly chosen style may show less on that character.
