I lettered my strips for The Dandy Annual directly onto the artwork before scanning in into Photoshop to colour. (Same as I do for my strip in Doctor Who Magazine, and for Combat Colin in Aces Weekly.) Most Viz strips are also hand lettered onto the page. Several of us still letter the old way. The old technique isn't quite dead yet.

The artist doesn't quite draw the strip in ink in the way that is suggested here; he draws the strip in pencil and then inks it - a small but important distinction. I'm sure you know that of course, you having once been a cartoonist. (And perhaps you still are, for all I know.)Kidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07224781868125924337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3867654097524146577.post-13345480400354127342015-07-20T19:58:04.721+01:002015-07-20T19:58:04.721+01:00I remember it well, and the Toy Boy strip shown wa...I remember it well, and the Toy Boy strip shown was drawn, unusually, by Mike Lacey. I don’t know who drew the other three pages, but I think they were done after Mike sent in his piece.<br /><br />These days most artists scan and email their work and the speech balloons are added electronically. I assume that the few artists who still send in original artwork, like Dave Sutherland, have their work scanned on flatbed scanners in the office.Andy Boalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14181293853802413958noreply@blogger.com
