Would really love to read this story, the characters look very likeable! Love your composition and use of color. I would suggest spending more time designing the typography - it does not look fitting to the beautiful line drawing. Maybe hand lettering?
-
@smceccarelli I agree the the lettering looks generic compared to the wonderful art. You need a better font or some hand written text.
-
Thanks, @Di07, @dan-tavis, @smceccarelli, @evilrobot for your feedback and comments!
I will definitely work on the typography, I think I will go for handwriting. Thank you so much for that idea. That will be new for me, so if thesomebody can give my any suggestions, they are very welcome.

Hi guys! I am just preparing to work on my typography. I found a great source of inspiration, not just for comics. It might also be interesting for you, if you look for picture book lettering or title fonts:

Oooh, I love your designs. Great work!

Following @smceccarelli and @evilrobot I started working on the lettering. I started with the text bubbles. What do you like more: the original one, using a GIMP font or the hand written text? I would say that the hand writing fits more to Peppers lively character. But I am not sure and would like to hear other opinions. Thanks in advance!
-
@Jana I definitely like the second one better. But maybe you can try to transform your own handwriting into a font? Jake Parker mentions how to do this at the end of his course on drawing comics.
-
Thanks for the feedback!
I will definitely try that. -
@smceccarelli
I installed my own handwriting font. It was really fun working on that. What do you think? Is that appealing enough?
-
@Jana I think this looks beautiful - and it has the same personality as the drawing!
-
Thank you so much, @smceccarelli! That means really a lot to me.
I will change the other text accordingly, and I will also see if I can improve the soundwords.
