for all of you who struggle to draw horse feet. :) You’ve gotta have those pasterns in there, as they are the horse’s main shock absorbers, as seen in the “bearing weight” example.

If you can handle an animal autopsy, here’s an interesting vid on how the muscles and joints work in the lower leg of the horse.

Have you ever seen a Benrey so pretty?

Low and behold, the Benrey that was lovingly (& painstakingly) roleplayed and painstakingly developed beyond the point of “Benrey”!

He prefers to be called PB <3

(p.s. read the tags!)

I get a feeling every time I go to bed

Are you thinking about me or is it all just in my head?

Cause I'm fallin' at the speed of light

Can't keep up with the butterflies

Floating 'round, no sign of slowing down...

for all you indie cartoonists out there, from someone who studied this in college, under major figures in the underground movement: don’t freehand your text in comics. Just use the text tool. Like, even with hand-lettering in traditional media, there’s an entire toolkit worth of rulers dedicated to keeping your lettering consistent. Hand lettering is annoying and if you’re like me, you run the risk of people not being able to read what you wrote with your handwriting. we live in a time where lettering is the easiest thing in the world. just use the text tool

And if you are dead set on your text being in your own writing, you can make a font out of it and use that with the text tool. If making a font yourself from scratch is out of your wheelhouse like it was for me, it’s been like a decade since I did it but my process for acquiring my block printing as a font was as simple as:

1) google “make my hand writing into a font”

2) click on a random result that let you download a three page template to insert your alphabet in upper and lowercase and any other special characters you need

3) fill it out in Photoshop. upload it to their uploader, give them $10 Canadian dollars over PayPal and download the file after getting an email saying it was ready.

Tips: if you’re doing comics, people generally expect all caps text. Do both your uppercase and lowercase as capital letters, but don’t just copy and paste–do it twice and in the odd case that a letter looks weird next to another, you can caps it and see if that helps.

Just make sure that your uppercase i has top and bottom crossbars, and that your lowercase i does not have them–having the crossbars is essential for the WORD “I” but having the crossbars on the LETTER “i” in the middle of other words monoplozes space and makes shit look ugly. You can do this for J if you’re feeling fancy so J only has the crossbar if it’s the first letter in a word balloon or caption box, but never in the middle of the word.

Also good for when you’re writing a word with repeat letters, like “AAAAAHH!” because if you write it like this “AaAAahH!” you’ll get some instant letter shape variety that will make it read less like a font.

When you’re deciding what special characters to include, remember to include any regular letters that have accents in them of you have any characters or palces whose names have accents in them, the copyright symbol, @, &, +, $, all of the various bracket types, numbers zero to ten, dash, long dash, underscore, tilde, asterisk, pound, question mark, exclamation mark and other regular punctuation.

And if the service leaves room in the template for any special characters that are longer, you can make one for your stamp or signature, your website url, any special symbols you might want to include in text, etc.

You can also download a program and do all of this yourself manually, but fussing with spacing and kerning on that level can be time consuming and frustrating and paying someone basically pocket change to do that for you for something you’re going to use for maybe hundreds of pages of comics is a small price to pay to avoid having to deal with any of that.
