After reading the discussion about font size, I think that I am going to have to type my text in instead of doing it all by hand. But what is the best way, if I want to do the rest of the page, including drawing the baloons, by hand? Do I need to…
"Almost two years later, I am re-reading all of these valuable ideas. (I have four little kids so my project may take ten years or so.) I did draw the first ten pages by hand and with my own lettering. Then I shrunk it 77% to fit on a standard 8…"
"good deal, everybody! i'm glad people have gotten something from it and that others have contributed! And Jennifer, your plan sounds really good. I think that Byran Lee O'Malley talks about drawing the balloons with the art before digital letterring…"
"This is a great discussion and you all have wonderful resources. I am re-evaluating the way I do lettering, and this is all good food for thought. Thank you."
"As simple as it is... I have a few suggestions.
1. Check out an art store for a font package for different fonts that will work in the program that you want to use, even if it's MS Word. (you can load a hand drawn comic in MS Word if you wanted…"

"Jennifer,
You can port your .ai file or .eps file into photoshop afterwards as a layer if needs be.
Also, if you're an independent, Blambot fonts has an excellent array of "Free" fonts to use. Just make sure you understand the usage rights.
I've…"

"Thank you for that advice, Daniel. I don't mind the details, as I have a lot to learn. And being uptight is a good thing in this realm I think. I have to work on that too!
I really love good hand-lettering but mine is just not that good. I'll…"

"i think that the style of lettering is very much a part of the book as a whole and should suit the content of the story. typically, a selection is made and then that (depending on your program) selection is filled with white, while givena black…"
"Hi Buzz, I have heard of other artists using Illustrator in this way. I am wondering, can you import the lettered page back into photoshop?
Thanks,

Hi ya, I know you like Christian comics so I know you'll love The Word for WORD Bible Comic, (Unabridged, historically accurate graphic novel of the Bible with a high view of scripture. For ages 15+)
To complete the first book I need your help, as I am raising funds on Kickstarter. My passion is to get God's Word in full into the hands of young believer and unbelievers and comic lovers of all ages, in the hope they will come to really know God. Please check it out at the KS page, it's going well but I still need lots of backers so I hope as a CCAS member you'll please pledge to support this project...

Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
