My handwriting has always been my achilles heel.

You should try writing with your hands instead of your heel

Now you tell me...

I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren't doing any favors either. Maybe that's just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?

oh it's actually not a font at all? I mean it's neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help

Thanks for the feedback, will try :)

I made a font of my neatest lettering just for this purpose, so I could type in my words while still mostly keeping the homemade aesthetic.

I can read it just fine. It looks nice.

Nowadays even Paint should have writing functionality. Or half of the viewer programs.

[–] noerdman@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, but that'd look so... nonpersonal.

Your art style or your writing style? Anyways...

[–] noerdman@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I tend to search for my individual fulfillment in the square borders of the panels, that's gotta be enough.
