Even if you're already great at lettering, this guide has SO many fun, creative and inspiring ideas to help you make thoughtful choices that add to your story
When talking to students, lettering is the #1 thing I give feedback on - text is such a big part of most comics! Use it to its full effect!!

Do you struggle to letter your comics? Do you find it boring? My guide Comic Lettering Basics is for anyone who wants to start learning how to improve their lettering! Originally released in 2020, it just got a HUGE update!

You're not going to be able to draw everything perfectly in your comic, ur gonna have weird looking cars or buildings, or hands- And i want you to know that's fine
Readers spend seconds per panel- as long as things are clear narratively, keep going! Dont get stuck on making every panel a masterpiece

We didn't need a Nazi salute to prove that this was the correct decision but it does re-enforce it. We did lose a huge potential audience when we stopped posting on Twitter/X though so please do keep spreading the word about our approach to comics coverage and our hard-working little team!
Decided we can't even do Twitter as a broadcast-only thing. Even auto posts via WP feel wrong now. Before Musk wrecked the place we were heading for 10,000 followers there. It's going to be a long time rebuilding here. If you like what we do in comics and can spread the word we'd so appreciate it!

Some photos of the original comic- think it's safe to say my comic skills have definitely improved since! This was probably the first Proper comic I completed, though there were many unfinished attempts from before I went to uni
