Do you struggle to letter your comics? Do you find it boring? I've just released my basic lettering guide, aptly named Comic Lettering Basics, for anyone who wants to start learning how to improve their lettering!
The first half of the guide walks you through the different aspects of lettering, and the second half is full of examples of poor lettering from my own work and how I changed it!
I wanted to talk about examples of good lettering I've seen out in the wild, so this is turning into a thread!
The first (and my favourite) example is this spread from Godshapers, written by @sispurrier, drawn by @jonasgoonface, and lettered by @colinbell.
Hey artists, here's a quick n dirty thread about how to lay out your table at conventions. I used to be in charge of floor planning and merchandising when I worked in retail and it's all based on the same idea - guiding the customer's eye.
In general your table will have Small Items (like stickers, £1/2 zines), Medium Items (single issue comics, bigger zines, prints), and your One Big Item (the main thing you're wanting to sell, usually a book if you have one). You want your customer to look at ALL of it!
Make your table interesting (and take longer) to look at by varying the heights of your merchandise: 1. flat on the table/stacked in piles 2. propped up on a book stand 3. propped up on top of a box/stack of books 4. pinned to grids/boards
