#speech bubbles

I really like CSP as a tool, but it's a bit obtuse at times, and I feel like it's not super intuitive to know how to adjust settings for ease of production;;;

Thanks for your insight!! Can't wait to see more of your Stardew comics, I really really like them!

Hi there!

I use neither a hand-drawn or built in tool for the speech bubbles, but rather this free one from the CSP asset store

I like it better than the built-in tools mostly for the more haphazard look of the bubbles (which can be altered further with the 'roundness of corner'-setting - I have mine set to about 65) and I prefer it to the hand-drawn version because it's easier and faster to control and create a lot of them.

Here's a little demonstration of how they work

Anytime you click inside them with the text tool, a line of text gets created perfectly center inside the bubble. Really helpful stuff. You can still move around the text separately, but it'll move along with the bubble as you manipulate it.

And here's what all three of them along with their text look like in the layer window

So they all get created and linked on the same layer and you can move and manipulate them as a unit or individual objects, using the Operation -> Object tool.

At the size of canvas I work on for my pages (A4), I usually go with a font size of 13, but I also use a font that only has capitalized letters, so I imagine you could go bigger with a different font.

None of these stickers are mine.
