3. Callouts lettering

Just like drawing, you also need to practice the lettering to produce a good one. Try using a pencil first to give room for errors before using the ink. Center your lettering in the callouts. All the lines between the letters should be of the same distance. The lesser the words in a dialogue, the better.
