Thunder Punch Daily 110 – Categorizing the Process

Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / / , , , , ,

Today I revisit a topic I don’t think I’ve touched on in a while (maybe not since the Your Comic From the Ground Up series!): namely, whether or not an artist should finish each page of a project in its entirety before moving on to the next one, or whether breaking the process into several “passes” might help a project get finished. I share a few thoughts on the matter and how the conditions of the project will affect the ultimate answer.

Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / / , ,

Today I blast through a few go-to checkpoints I use when creating word balloons on my pages.

The Checkpoints Mentioned:

 

  • Placement
  • Tails
  • Properly centering the text
  • Checking with others to see about placement
  • Irregular shapes
  • Fonts

 

I referred to Art & Story episodes 95 and 79 in this episode, if you want to hear more extensive talk on lettering. I also talked about an Adobe Illustrator video tutorial I posted some time ago, as well as Comicraft and Blambot.

Thunder Punch Daily 15 – Drawlin’ Mah Letters

Podcasts, Thunder Punch Daily / / , , ,

Today I leap off of something Kim Holm mentioned about lettering on a recent A&S Extreme!! I talk about how the principles of line value in illustration are exactly analogous to the way I like to think about lettering. I talk a little inside baseball at the top of this one, discussing how I use Hindenburg Mobile to record the show.
