Masking Techniques for Comics
To create a professional look, you must mask your word balloons so they appear tucked behind panel borders or specific character elements. By utilizing Procreate's layer masking features, you can hide portions of the balloon without permanently erasing your work. This non-destructive method ensures that your dialogue remains legible while maintaining the depth of your illustration. Always organize your layers to keep the balloon masks separate from your primary line art for easier adjustments.
