DAMMIT (Patreon)

In order to lay out text for my pencils, I make a new text layer and type in the first word balloon, set the font & size to exactly what I want, and then just duplicate that text layer multiple times to reuse it like a template for the rest of the text (because constantly starting a new text layer and resizing it to the same exact size in Procreate is a literal crazy-making nightmare).

Any time that fist word balloon is just one word - especially an exclamation - the whole page looks like this and makes me giggle before I replace the text in all the subsequent word balloons.

I'm still nailing down the way I make these pages - because it's a much more involved process than GWS was, and now includes my iPad - but I think I'll start showing you guys how I prepare the Elephant Town artwork soon. :)

(Doesn't count as a spoiler if the only word I leak is "DAMMIT," right?)
