I'll try that. Grayscale first. (nods) I have no choice but to search for the letters, because in the script of this comic not only Q, X and Y are needed, but I even need to find an " Ï ", because there's a character called Aïda, and this whole comic is written in nothing but capitals. So if...

So far, I'm collecting the alphabet on separate jpgs... I had to do some searching for a Q, an X and a Y :LOL:. I have an additional problem with the colour: the text looks black at first sight, but if you zoom in it turns out some sort of purple. I am fidgeting with tone correction and levels...

Yes, DigitalStrip and Anime Ace I already have. Both are very beautiful, but they're too smooth. The writing in this comic is so narrow, it looks like it is economical but in reality it takes a lot of space. I'll check the two others out as well. If I manage to make a font from the balloons...

Could it work with already existing words? This is what I am up against: tons of this ->

I didn't specify how much text corrections I have to make: there are a LOT. I practically have to rewrite half the story. My drawing program (ClipStudioPaint) has a menu for balloon text, but even then copying and pasting hundreds of balloons would take for ever. And even then the fonts would...

Hey people, I'm restoring a comic from the 1980's for a republication. I scanned in all the pages and now I'm cleaning and correcting. The texts in the balloons were done by hand back then, and now that I'm fixing mistakes I can't find any font that resembles it enough to make the corrections...

Thanks so much for the suggestions; I'll try them all out. (y):D Many of the forums for comic authors have faded away since the start of "social media", I'm afraid. Any specific art site in mind?

hello, There are a million different fonts called "comic" available on line. Some are okay, but most of them are just weird. I am on a quest to find the very best comic font; a nice, easily readable, sharp and fast font that looks exactly like the handwritten fonts the professional letterers...

Oh thank you :D I'll try them right away! Are you using Clipstudio yourself? I am starting to feel lonely with my new favorite toy :cry: when I hear people go "Never heard of ClipStudio and can't imagine many on here will have either"

Oh. Really? Clip Studio Paint is like Photoshop, but especially meant for comic artists and mangaka. It's Japanese. I took it because I couldn't get the hang of Photoshop however hard I tried. Thanks for replying, anyway

Hi, In CSP you can get things called "clippies" which serve as some sort of currency to buy stuff on the site. I have a small amout of those, and I got message that they're about to expire, so I'm in a hurry to use them! :eek: Since I'm not very happy about the pens and brushes I have at my...

I don't think I would get used to reach for a keyboard each time I want to save or do New or Undo or switch to an other pen or brush. That little think you're showing I saw on the Huion site. It looks like a calculator By the way, I'm tinkering a frame to lay my Kamvas down. I searched for...

Don't you need your keyboard for those shortcuts? That Huion of mine is so large, it takes up the whole desktop; there's no more space for the keyboard. It's shoved underneath the computer monitor stand. And yes, one can find plenty useful things on YT

I wouldn't mind drawing high if it wasn't so exhausting. On paper, all you need is one tool: either a pencil or a pen. On a tablet there are hundreds of tools, you keep going endlessly up and down with your arm, it's legit fitness! And a my age, one gets aches and pains from too much useless...

Ah, You mean like El Greco's characters! Or like that skull on the painting "the embassadors" by Holbein. I see. You probably were used to draw straight up, in Art school, weren't you? I never went to art school. I started drawing in my crib, when I was 1 and a half. Everybody screamed and...
