Hey folks!

My friend Joe Edens (responsible for the webcomic Rabbid Force) asked me how I make my word balloons non-elliptical, so I threw this tutorial together for him.  It uses Photoshop, but you can do this in Illustrator and it probably applies to other art programs similarly.

In other news, the campaign for the second episode of my webcomic, The Super-Gay Adventures of Ross Boston, is live on Indiegogo.  Donations are appreciated, but so is sharing the link wherever.  Thank you!

Aaaah! Thank you for this! I’m just about to letter a big project and always wondered how to do this. <3

http://www.balloontales.com/ is also a great resource for more tutorials on digital inking/lettering! It’s what my professors taught from at SCAD. =)
