Description
[Update] Since people keep asking "why not use comic sans?", its universally known as a font that mainly amateurs use. (The image of home made flyers comes to mind) It's the Crocs of the design world, and if you want to be taken more seriously, it is advised to use a different font.As promised! This is how I letter my work. Hope this is helpful to someone!

Hast Du auch Tipps für handgezeichnete Sprechblasen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Meinst du Sprechblasen die nicht digital gezeichnet werden?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Leider zeichne ich sie exklusiv digital, also bis auf ähnliche Regeln (platzierung etc) die man beachten sollte, weiß ich leider nicht viel....
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ok, hätte ja sein können, ist aber nicht schlimm. Die digitalen Tipps finde ich nämlich super hilfreich - aber sie bringen mir persönlich nichts.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
es ist nunmal etwas veraltet, traditionell Sprechblasen zu zeichnen... Selbst komplett in Aquarell entstandene Comics wie Blacksad haben die Sprechblasen und Text digital eingefügt.
Das einzige was mir einfällt ist das ellipsen lineal/schablone und eine ruhige Hand sich antrainieren.

Ja, scheint so. Aber irgendwie isses mir persönlich immer noch lieber. 
Jo, das ist ja schon mal was.
