Letter Days


I'm currently lettering the Situation comic. Of all the steps in a comic I'm probably least at ease with the lettering. I prefer hand written letters over fonts from the computer but I worry about legibility. I think the vast majority of comics are lettered using computer programs, at least when I google it all that comes up are computer lettering tutorials. Although I did find this Plea For Hand Lettering that sums up my thoughts. Especially the idea that comics and the letters are part of the same overall thing. That seems obvious but many people don't treat it that way. Another thing about lettering is I'm not sure how long it should take. I do it pretty fast so  I'm not researching it in case I'm going to fast....
