Hi Jesse, you’re welcome! The standard comic book size is 6-5/8 inches wide by 10-1/4 inches high. You can make your own template in Photoshop or Procreate, as I do. Search google and click on Images. Ka-Blam has a good template that I use as a low opacity layer so I can see the margins. This if for print. For webtoons, it’s a scrolling page and different size. I highly recommend getting and reading the full book if you’re a beginner. It’s made for you! https://www.amazon.com/CARTOONING-TECHNIQUES-Drawing-Comics-Manga/dp/B0B5KNTTC5
