Inner peace waits anywhere. It mostly waits far away from other people though.

That font is really tough to read for me

[-] noerdman@feddit.de 25 points 1 year ago

My handwriting has always been my achilles heel.

[-] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 43 points 1 year ago

You should try writing with your hands instead of your heel

[-] noerdman@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Now you tell me...

[-] Skaryon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

oh it's actually not a font at all? I mean it's neater than my hand writing for sure. I think if you try to put a bit more spacing between letters it would help

[-] noerdman@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the feedback, will try :)

I think the rough pixelated edges on the brush you used aren't doing any favors either. Maybe that's just the compression though? Are you making the comic at a higher resolution then downscaling it for export?

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 1 points 1 year ago

Nowadays even Paint should have writing functionality. Or half of the viewer programs.

[-] noerdman@feddit.de 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, but that'd look so... nonpersonal.

[-] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 0 points 1 year ago

Your art style or your writing style? Anyways...

[-] noerdman@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, I tend to search for my individual fulfillment in the square borders of the panels, that's gotta be enough.

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

I can read it just fine. It looks nice.

[-] Radicaldog@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I made a font of my neatest lettering just for this purpose, so I could type in my words while still mostly keeping the homemade aesthetic.

[-] Skaryon@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Though to say but I think a large part is the very narrow letter spacing

[-] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

All caps, while being very small and dense. More spacing, bigger size of the words and maybe even the use of non-capped letters would make it easier to read.

Good comic though.

[-] noerdman@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

First comics didn't have all-caps-writing and the consensus was that that was much worse... I'll try to be less dense though. I'll also work on my handwriting.

[-] Drummyralf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Have you thought about simply using a handwritten type font? You could even create a font from your own handwriting so that it still has your style, but you only have to take the time for each letter once.

Or if you want to improve your handwriting, that is also great to strive for I guess. Do whatever brings joy in your life :)
