Make Your Own Handwriting Font, Improve your Webcomic

February 4th, 2009 by RR Anderson

Science is truly a boon to the modern cartoonist.  Today we learn how to make own own TRUE TYPE FONT in a matter of minutes using the free services of yourfonts.com

You can do it in two ways. Print the font generator templates, write in all the letters with your favorite pen, scan & upload to the generator OR do what I did by downloading the template as a gif, bring into photoshop and write in all the boxes with your wacom tablet.  Check out the font I made in about 10 minutes:

So yeah you don’t have to use that lame comic book font you and everybody else has been using in their webcomics; you can afford to be original!
