Gonna start trying to do speech bubbles after this one. I enjoy making these a lot, but am so green and have bias eyes

I do like the style its in vs the super clean comics but it also looks like a 3 year old did it in my eyes sometimes 😭 i like making short strips exploring my feelings. Some are ment to be funny some more so uplifting

With the text straight on the image it looks like a picture book! It’s warm and has a lot of lovely, creative energy. I can tell that you were feeling a lot when you painted these. Nice job!

Thank you!!! Maby ill do a mix, I do like the picture book style it kinda reminds me of the very hungry caterpillar. Wasn't sure if it was an okay look or too hard to read so apreciate your words!

Your style is solid but I totally get what you mean that it looks rough to you sometimes. I don't think that ever changes.

Speech bubbles or not, it will all work better if you integrate the text with the overall composition. This could be as small as playing with different text alignments to fit each panel a little better.

Ahhhhh, ushally i draw first with ideas of text but it is a after thought on placement. I did one comic today using bubbles and wanna redo one that I did text over and will try being mindful where the text goes like I could use a tree line or bushes where its not as busy. Thank you!!!
