Quick visualization of how you can make 1-point perspective look like 3-point.

Letterers, you should be getting paid extra for pre-press. Our page rate extends to delivering final lettering, not prepping a book for print.

Pro tip: There is absolutely no way of getting around the fact that you have to put in the work. Search the web, read the books, watch the videos, cozy-up to pros for shortcuts and insider help… doesn’t matter…
You want it? You sacrifice the hours, days, weeks, years.

“If I do a job in 30 minutes, it’s because I spent 10 years learning how to do that in 30 minutes. You owe me for the years, not the minutes.” (Not mine, but this quote sums up how you should charge as a designer pretty succinctly.)

Pro tip: The best comic book letterers are graphic designers; whether they know it or not, whether they were trained, schooled, or just have natural aptitude. Unless you’ve got solid graphic design skills, you’ll never advance beyond mediocre lettering.

Was about to retweet a comics award website I’d never heard of, but upon flipping through the site, I discovered there was no colorist or letterer categories.
So nope.

Going to say this again and I'm going to say it daily until the message gets through: ARTISTS should be templating their art files to 6.875" x 10.438" (400 or 600dpi) BEFORE uploading them to the colourist/letterer/editor/publisher. Please get into this way of working.

Your entertainment is someone’s art. Art comes with the artists’ personal joys, fears, frustrations, hopes and dreams baked into it. Because of that, you won’t love all artists or all art from one artist. But without any of the artists’ feelings baked in, you’d hate ALL of it.

What a great thread! Here’s a few of my favorite moments in one of my favorite books. I know Doom is a bad guy, but my heart just goes out to him!

Lettering is not a step in the editorial process. By the time a script gets to the letterer, it should be ready to be lettered. By the nature of our job, and the fact that we have the lowest rates, it is necessary for us to get in, get the book lettered, and move on.

Good to see so many folks talking about today's BATMAN #53, but when you're all name-checking @TomKingTK @Inkdropinc and @bettieb, why aren't you also mentioning the letterer, @ClaytonCowles? It's not a silent issue, and Clayton's a vital member of the art team.

When I’m done lettering a book, I want the rest of the team to say, “Wow. That lettering looks way better than I imagined—he really tied this all together. I want this guy to work on more of my projects.”
That’s the best compliment a letterer can hope for.

I’ve basically let go of the adage that letterers shouldn’t ever hyphenate a word. You know what? If a crazy long word is easily hyphenated, and doing so makes a nicely balanced balloon instead of a tortured one…I’m doing it. Hand letterers did it all the time back in the day.

This is going to sound lame, but it works for me. When I work out I gain motivation based on my music, lots of game & movie soundtracks. Im not Benny, Im Ezio training to be an Assassin, Mogli outrunning Sheer Khan or the Hulk smashing up the city. Its easier to hit a goal for me
