Hereโs Taylor with some facts! ๐๐ป
You could get lettering lessons from someone with no qualifications, or you could get them from someone who literally teaches it to the next generation of comic creators at the comic book school. Decisions, decisions.
Waiting for someone to โwell, actuallyโ me on this.
Overly wordy doesn't work in comics, unless you have a huge panel with lots of space. Side note, don't make the biggest panel have one balloon in it and all the much smaller panels have the bulk of the dialogue. We are limited by space and physics.
Basic comic making tip. You can't have characters centered and taking up all the space in a panel and a ton of dialogue in the same panel. It's gotta be one or the other. Ideally, it should be characters in the bottom 2/3s of a panel with space above for light dialogue.
Those who can, do. Those who can't, start a shitty website with comics "news".
If you grew up Catholic and are still kinda pissed about it, Estuary is the book for you! Available for pre-order NOW!

No, tv/movie scripts are not comic scripts.
Hit up Simon, he's available for work as we speak and damn good at it, too!

Interesting explanations like this is why following letterers is always an insightful experience.
I mean, I'm just using that term, but I like to use thinner fonts on some stuff. For an example, see my Flash Gordon vs my Thundarr. Flash has a thinner, classier font, but Thundarr has a heavier more energetic font.
Hopefully over the summer. I'm just too swamped with work to do them this term.
