Kothoga Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 How can I do text bubbles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Well... what I did was: 1. Make a new layer for your text. Type what you want, bearing in mind the size of the text bubble you want. 2. Make another new layer, put this one under the layer with the text using the wee arrows at the bottom of the layer menu (make sure you have the correct layer selected). 3. Draw an elipse around the text, best to use "draw filled shape" tool, up top. I find that if you use the "draw filled shape with outline" the outline isn't dark enough for what you will need to do next. 4. Draw some lines in a conical shape to your 'speaking' subject. 5. You will now, wether you used the "draw filled shape with outline" tool or not, need to go round the elipse with the pencil, best go over the cone for good measure. 6. If done correct you should have no problem filling the shape with a nice bright colour (or color for all you Americans ). Don't forget the wee bit caught in the cone. 7. There you have it, sit back and admire your lovely new speech bubbles. In true Blue Peter style, here is one I made earlier: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I am new to this beautiful program which tutorials should I read to make text bubbles. As I don't know how to create layers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SearedIce Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 At the bottom right of the window, there is a little window that says "Layers". Click the button at the bottom that shows a page with a plus sign (+) on it. This makes a new layer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
