If you want to draw beautiful cartoons you must know what makes a high-end artist different from a shabby cartoon maker.
You can master the art of cartoon making after some serious effort.
But if you are not attentive enough to insignificant things like bordering and lettering your work will not be highly valued.
So here in this article we will touch upon these very important aspects of cartoon making.
Though common saying goes like a picture is more powerful than thousand words it is not always true in the world of comics and cartoons.
For to create an attractive comic series you need to put words in your characters' mouth.
In fact you need to even verbalize their thoughts many times.
So you can pretty well understand the importance of developing a clean and simple lettering style.
Because without that, your story will not have many takers.
One shortcut you can take if you have page composition software like InDesign or QuarkXpress.
In such a scenario you can use computer fonts for telling your story.
But that essentially makes a simple and fun thing more cumbersome and expensive for the amateurs.
When creating an art work that is of single frame like a caricature you must be very careful about the bordering style you use.
Because if you use to simple a style chance is that won't match with the mood of the artwork.
On the contrary, if you use a style that attracts more attention to itself than the graphic then also your work will not convey the right message to your viewers.
So as you can understand having the right balance is of utmost importance here.
Many beginners and as well as experienced cartoon makers, often overlook these aspects of the art.
Never make the same mistake like others.
Take it from me the effort required to be efficient in creating good bordering and lettering is nothing if compared with amount of work you have put to pick up the cartoon making skill.
