Can I upload my own character drawings instead of using AI-generated ones?

Yes. When you set up a character you can upload your own drawing as the reference image instead of generating one. Your drawing becomes the reference the tool uses to keep that character on-model across every panel, and the appearance description stays editable for details the art alone does not show.

Will my uploaded character look the same in every panel?

That is the point of a character reference. Once a character has a reference image, it attaches to every panel where that character appears, so the face, outfit, and proportions stay consistent. If a single panel comes out off, you can regenerate it, edit its scene prompt, or upload an image for just that panel.

Can I mix my own drawn characters with AI-generated ones in the same comic?

Yes. You can upload references for the leads you care most about and let the tool generate references for the supporting cast, all in one project. Every character, drawn or generated, is held to its own reference across panels, and you can replace a generated reference with an uploaded drawing later.

Use Your Own Character Drawings in a Webtoon

If you already have your characters drawn, in sketches, a character sheet, or finished art, you do not have to hand them over to a generator and hope it improvises something close. You can upload those drawings as character references, and the tool builds your webtoon around the cast you designed. The labor it takes off your plate is the in-betweening: splitting your chapters into panels, drawing each one, and keeping every character on-model from the first episode to the hundredth. The look and the cast stay yours.

Your characters, drawn by you, carried by the tool

The core idea here is amplification, not replacement. You bring the style and the cast; the tool does the slow, repetitive drawing. For a webtoon, that repetition is the real cost. A serialized vertical-scroll story can run for hundreds of episodes, and the same handful of characters appear in nearly every panel. Drawing each of them consistently, episode after episode, is what burns out solo creators. When you upload your own character art, the tool treats your drawing as the source of truth for how that person looks and reuses it everywhere they appear.

This is the sharpest version of the bring-your-own-art workflow. It is different from uploading an overall art style, which sets the general look of the whole comic. Character references are about a specific person's face, outfit, and proportions staying identical across panels.

Uploading a hand-drawn character reference, instead of letting the tool generate one

When you set up a character, you have two paths. The tool can read your chapter text, pull out each character, and write an editable appearance description, then generate a reference image for that character. Or you can skip the generation and upload your own drawing as the reference image. If you have already designed your cast, the second path is the one you want. Your drawing becomes the reference, and the description stays editable so you can note details the art alone does not capture, like a scar that is only visible from one angle or a costume change later in the story.

You do not have to choose all-or-nothing. You can upload references for the leads you care most about and let the tool generate the rest, which is useful when your main cast is drawn but the background players are not.

How one reference image follows a character across every panel

Once a character has a reference, that reference attaches to every panel where the character appears. Each panel has its own editable scene prompt that drives the art, and the character reference rides along with it so the face, outfit, and proportions match what you uploaded. This is the mechanism behind consistent characters across an AI comic: the consistency is not the tool remembering a vibe between panels, it is the same reference image being applied each time.

If a panel comes out slightly off, you can regenerate it, adjust the scene prompt, or swap in an uploaded image for that single panel. The reference is the baseline the art keeps returning to, not a one-time suggestion that drifts as the episode goes on.

This matters more in a webtoon than in a paginated print comic. Vertical-scroll episodes lean on tall stacks of panels and frequent close-ups, so a reader sees a character's face again and again as they scroll. Any drift in the eyes, the hair, or the outfit gets noticed fast. Anchoring each character to the drawing you uploaded keeps those repeated close-ups looking like the same person every time.

Mixing your drawn characters with an AI-generated supporting cast

Most stories have a few characters who matter and a longer list who show up occasionally. You can draw the ones who matter and let the tool generate references for the rest, all in the same project. The leads stay exactly as you designed them, the supporting cast gets a consistent generated look, and every character, drawn or generated, is held to its own reference across panels. As your story grows and a minor character becomes important, you can upload a drawing to replace their generated reference at any point.

Pairing character references with a style reference for a unified look

Character references and style references do different jobs, and they work best together. A character reference locks who a person is. A style reference sets the overall art style applied to every generation, so the panels, characters, and covers all share one visual language. If you upload both your own character drawings and a sample of your own art style, the tool draws your cast in your style across the whole webtoon. That combination is what keeps an AI-assisted comic from looking generically machine-made: the identity and the look are both coming from you.

A quick note on rights

Upload only art you are authorized to use. The simplest case, and the one this workflow is built for, is uploading your own drawings of your own characters. If you are adapting someone else's characters, the rights to those designs are your responsibility to sort out. We are not in a position to give legal advice on who owns AI-generated panel art, which is still a settling area; what we can say is that your uploaded drawings remain yours, and you should check the policies of wherever you plan to publish.
