Speech Bubbles & Text in Comics: Guide for New Artists

[@Gwemmz]

Thank you sOOOO much for this, clicked the light in my head

[@merri_spiderly6017]

I plan to work on my comic traditionally, and lettering is one of the things I almost fear within the process because I have so little experience. This video is a godsend because on youtube, there’s not a lot of content focusing on this.

[@jholtillus]

It's so niche that it's not likely to generate a lot of views, so bigger channels with more on the line may avoid it just for that (justifiably so if you're depending on that revenue)

Thank you so very much for this video! I'm just working on my first comic project ever, it's gonna be 160+ pages and it gets a little overwhelming from time to time. It's gonna be a huge learning by doing process and videos like this help a lot. I will definitely go watch your other ones in this series, the quality of them seem to be great! You also seem to be a very likeable person and I enjoyed listening to what you had to say. Thanks again!

[@jholtillus]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@philipdodd451]

This is a topic I’ve been waiting for 😌🙏🏽

[@jholtillus]

Hope it gives you something worthwhile!

[@worldwidewr]

How good timing man! I was just planning to start working on my webcomic. And you posted this video. Thanks a lot!

[@jholtillus]

Glad to see the plan worked. Thank you for watching!

[@s_u_g_g_s9327]

This series of videos has come at the absolute perfect time. Really appreciate all your insights into each of these specific aspects to creating comics.

[@jholtillus]

Thank you! Glad it's proving useful for you

[@garyv09]

Great videos I found you late last year and have been enjoying your content since . Can you do one on panelling next?

[@jholtillus]

It's a good suggestion. I'll think about how it might work! My approach to paneling is so...disorganized.

[@moandtell]

Thank you for this video! Super helpful! I have Scott McCloud's "Making Comics - Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels," and it has been so informative, but I truly enjoyed your breakdown of speech bubbles and text. Adding Understanding Comics to my cart right now lol

[@darneldegand]

Great job. Thank you for the detailed explanation. It’s one of the best I’ve come across.

[@jholtillus]

Glad it was helpful and thank you!

[@mythorlegend]

This is going to sound weird but the way You talk... tone of Your voice is somehow very relaxing apart of course from the fact that You provide very in depth knowledge regarding creation of comic books I like to listen to You.

[@jholtillus]

All very nice things to say and I appreciate it very much.

[@airadavometra]

It's a bit off topic but it's really cool to see that the same ideas and principles work both for web design and comics (and probably other things but I only have web background to state this). Seems that in comics it's also mostly about finding a balance between UI and UX, how we can express our creativity and create something unique and fascinating without making our users/readers feel confused and overwhelmed Oh and great job, love your channel! So informative and well structured, you must be very experienced in teaching. Thank you for making these videos!

[@jholtillus]

Thank you for the kind words and yes, the overlap between creative fields is stunning when you start to look for it.

[@kupskiarts]

Your videos are so soothing and cozy. (also informative ofc)

[@jholtillus]

Glad for all of those descriptors! Thank you!

[@Ratboycure]

Found this channel recently and really enjoyig it. Really good thanks fellah

[@jholtillus]

Thank you!

[@kaicastle.]

This is very informative! Thank you for sharing! I also see some artists fail to notice that their comics having too small of texts. Because they work on large pen tablets, but their readers use mobile phones.

[@toryizquierdo35]

made my own font using a clean version of my handwriting and it's gone pretty well for me!

[@emilywaffle]

Yay, time for class!

[@jholtillus]

Glad to have you!

[@typewritermark]

Another great video!

[@jholtillus]

Thank you!

[@tcha_sc]

hi you will make more videos right? i understand if you are on a brake and living your life as you deserve it. i just love your voice and things you talke about and i hope to see you agean one day

[@DippedInInk]

Thanks for this. I have knowledge with computers but I prefer traditional.

[@sawsawsuka]

i love your videos man (also you sound so much like another youtuber localscriptman)

[@jholtillus]

Thank you! I don't know localscriptman, but hopefully he's remarkable and successful

[@Adventstein]

Up go the numbers. Yay dopamine!

[@jholtillus]

That's what we're here for

[@trip_carroll]

Wait... Jordan, do you not have a smart phone?

[@jholtillus]

I do. I'm required to have one for dual factor authentication for my work email. I just really, really dislike them and try to avoid using it.

[@Adventstein]

Wowie, I'm first.

[@jholtillus]

But you have to hit all future videos first to hold the position. It's a grueling destiny

[@Adventstein]

@@jholtillus, perhaps... I may not be worthy to face such a grueling challenge. But, I shall take up your quest and embark. Huzzah!
