Welcome to Day 5 of : Making Comics

Comics employ words & pictures to communicate.

But one thing that is sometimes misses is that words in comics ARE pictures. The art of lettering, is the art of Drawing, not writing letters. As an artist, shifting from writing letters to drawing letters helps your words have more clarity, emotion and impact.

And if there is one piece of advice that yields tremendous results it’s this:

Draw your letters, not write them and draw them slowly.
