No-upstroke technique for hand lettering comics. I probably lifted this from Nate Piekos or Todd Klein.

Ideally, your font thickness should be similar to the balloon stroke thickness. If the stroke is too thin compared to the font, it looks weak and amateur. There's no weight to hold your eye to the text and looks very distracting. #comicbooklettering

The stacks are back! These are four random issues from my Catwoman run--I lettered 17 issues between #46 and #65 of the current volume.
One of my peak feats was designing the "logo" for Gatúbela, which is how Catwoman is known in Latin America. 😻 #comicbooklettering

John Workman's refusal to use traditional lettering height/leading guides amazes me. I've got to try this technique sometime.

I have a workflow question for my #comicbooklettering friends out there who have worked on DC or Marvel properties. Who can answer my questions??
(Don’t worry I’m not asking how to get in it’s really about workflow. )

El logo que Marvel uso, era solo una digitalización del original, sin pocas opciones de edición. Así que básicamente se tuvo que reconstruir, aumentando las letras faltantes (La L y A acentuada). #comic #comics #comicbooklettering #lettering #logo #fantasticfour #marvel #marvelcomics
