Manga Tutorial for Beginners 08 Let’s draw frames and speech bubbles.

Hello, this is ГФ. Since I explained the rules regarding the outline and canvas, it’s time for the real work of drawing Manga. Starting off with “Frames” and “Speech Bubbles”.

Click Here for Previous Tutorials. Manga Tutorial for Beginners 01 Process of Manga Making Manga Tutorial for Beginners 02 Let’s Make Outline (Part 1) Manga Tutorial for Beginners 03 Let’s Make Outline (Part 2) Manga Tutorial for Beginners 04 Get Ready to Draw Manga with MediBang Paint! Manga Tutorial for Beginners 05 Let’s Make Name(outline) Manga Tutorial for Beginners 06 Let’s think about frame layout and screen. Manga Tutorial for Beginners 07 Considerations when setting up the canvas. Manga Tutorial for Beginners 08 Let’s draw frames and speech bubbles.

When you want to begin with lining the frames, the “Panel Division” tool comes in handy.

First, create a layer for dividing the panels. Choose “Add / 1 Bit” from the Layer tab and by clicking the gear icon on the right, change the layer name to “Panel” etc.

If you click “Add Panel Material” from the Layer tab while selecting the panel layer you just created, the following window appears.

Here, you can set the line width first. For reference, the numbers below (0.73mm on default) represent the thickness when you write on the analog canvas. There is no rule behind the line width but generally it is set thicker than the drawing lines. Most of the Manga uses 0.5mm to 1.0mm. I will be selecting 19 (0.8mm), as that’s what I usually draw with.

By clicking “OK”, a frame will be drawn as shown below. Additionally, the “Divide Tool” on the left tool bar is selected.

While selecting the “Divide Tool” you can divide the panel by clicking on the frame and dragging to the other side. Repeat this process to make multiple divisions of the panel. If you want to adjust the angle for when you divide diagonally, you can press the the shift key as you drag.

Since the panel is read right to left from the top row and move downwards as you reach the left division, it is easier to read if the spaces on the side are narrow and the spaces above / below are wider. You can change the settings for spacing at the top of the screen. The image uses pixels but you can also set in millimeters.

If you want to make a panel that breaks out beyond the margin (tachikiri), you can change to the “Operation Tool” from the tool bar and select the panel you want to edit. Then when you bring the cursor to the frame, while selecting the panel, it will change to a moving arrow. By dragging the frame on the arrow cursor mode, you can change the shape of frame line. You can make the break-out panel by expanding the frame beyond the page.

If you want to delete a panel, click the ” × ” icon while you select the panel using the “Operation Tool”.

Frames (panels) drawn using the “Division Tool” cannot be erased with the “Eraser Tool”. If you want to erase a portion of the panel with the eraser, select “Rasterize Material” from the Layer tab.

However, you can also do the same without rasterizing; by using the “Mask Layer”.

While selecting your panel layer, click on the fourth icon from the left inside the Layer window. From the three “Add Layer” options, select “Add Layer (Mask)”.

Then a layer called “Mask” gets created, if you draw on this layer using black, you will not be able to see the drawings on the layer below. You can apply this method to hide a portion of the panel frame.

The mask layer allows to hide a part of the drawing without erasing it. It will be useful when you apply this process to other cases.

When the panel division is finished, speech bubbles come next.

2. Speech Bubbles

There are various styles of speech bubbles as shown below.

Before drawing the bubbles, create a layer for speech bubbles. Select “Add / 1 Bit” from the Layer tab and change the name to “Speech Bubbles” etc.

After creating the layer, begin drawing the speech bubbles. Let’s start off with the standard oval bubble.

・Oval Bubble

Draw the bubble to enclose the speech lines with some space around them. You can either draw freehand or using the oval tool.

The thickness of speech bubble lines are usually the same as the main drawing or a little thicker. I mostly use 15px for the drawing and 20px for the speech bubbles; use this as the reference if you are confused.

If you want to use the oval tool select “Shape Brush Tool”, the 3rd icon in the toolbar, and choose “Ellipse” from the brush shape options.

It may turn out thicker than the freehand bubble since the strength of the brush does not apply to the “Shape Brush Tool”. If that’s the case, reduce the line thickness before drawing.

The “tail” of the speech bubble may not appear in some styles or scenes, but it clarifies which person is talking so it should be added for scenes with many characters.

If one person is talking for a long time, you can use a double bubble. Instead of diving into two different bubbles, it shows a clear time sequence.

There is also no rule for the position of speech bubbles but you can create more space for the drawing if you place it next to the corner. This is because drawing a large, readable bubble takes up a lot of space. Simplifying the speeches does not only make it easy to read but also to create more space for the drawing.

Let’s try drawing different shapes of speech bubbles.

・Needle / Blast / Explosion Bubble

It is mostly used for when the character speaks loudly. It can easily be drawn freehand but if you want to straighten them out, use the “Polygon” in the Shape Brush Tool.

・Cloud Bubble

This is used for cheerful lines or comical speeches. It will be easy if you draw this like a flower in freehand.

・Wavy Bubble

It can be used when the character is injured or when they are talking in fear. You can draw this easily by relaxing your grip on freehand.

・Thoughts Bubble

It is an oval bubble with circular tails and represents what the character is thinking about. You can either use the Shape Brush Tool or draw freehand.

・Rectangular Bubble

It is used for narrations and inner voice spoken in light-hearted tones. Use “Rectangle” in Shape Brush Tool to draw easily.

・Electronic Sound Bubble

They express lines spoken through a speaker, by a machine and sounds from electronic devices. You can use the “Polygon” of Shape Brush Tool to draw these.

・Flash Bubble

This is used for occasions where the inner voice implies a shocking line or when a superior existence is vocalized directly to the character’s mind.

The flash bubble can be drawn easily using the “Radial Brush” from Cloud Brushes.

・Inverted Flash Bubble

It is mostly used for when the character’s inner voice is speaking about something even more shocking. The explanation for Inverted Flash bubble is a little complicated so I will describe it in the later tutorial when I will be talking about spot fills.

The general types of speech bubbles are as described above, but you can get more variations by changing the line styles or adding some decorations. Look into changing the bubble styles appropriate for the scene you are drawing.

If you are not confident with drawing the bubbles yourself, you can also use the materials on cloud.

You can also leave out the speech bubble in some panels.

If you want to draw the bubble beyond the panel frame, you can erase a part of the frame, hide the frame line using the “Mask Layer” or cover it with white as I described earlier.

How was the tutorial ? Just adding the frame lines and speech bubbles will make it look much closer to a proper Manga. The next tutorial will be on “Drawing humans, animals and nature”.

How To Add Speech Bubbles To Your Photos

By Whitney | Basic Photo Editing • Photo Editor Tutorials

There are some photos that are just asking for a speech bubble. The expression on someone’s face usually sets it off. You take one look and instantly think of the perfect caption, then proceed to laugh out loud at the perfectness of it all. They say pictures are worth a thousand words but some can be summed up in just a few hilariously fitting ones.

For all the photos you come across that would be made even better with a speech bubble, we’ve got a little something that will help you get the look in just a few clicks. Whatever the caption, you can add BeFunky’s Speech Bubble overlays to your photos and type away! They’re sure to help you share the fun with all of your friends, all in a matter of minutes.

Speech Bubbles Help Tell A Story  

Whether you want to turn your photo into a professional-looking comic or just want to have a little fun, any time is a good time to add a speech bubble. You can make an image hilarious by adding the right caption, or simply say exactly what you were thinking when you took that last selfie. There are many different kinds of speech bubbles that are available in BeFunky to help you tell your story. Here's a little sample of them and when to use each kind: 

Similar to making memes, speech bubbles can help you get the point across in a unique way. Here are some of the best cases where speech bubbles can make your photos more amusing:

Awkward Family Photos. Family photos can be a great opportunity to add a thought or speech bubble, the more awkward the better!  

Pet Photography. Since animals can say so much with their facial expressions and nonverbal cues, you can give them a voice with a speech bubble.

Photos With Your Best Friend. Because you know each other well enough that you have a million inside jokes.

For Stating Facts And Quotes. For a school project or a website, a speech bubble can be an easy and intriguing way to make a point.

How To Add A Speech Bubble In BeFunky

If you’re dying to add a speech bubble or two to your photos, BeFunky makes it incredibly easy. First, head to the Photo Editor and upload a photo.

Under the Graphics tab, click Search Graphics and then search for Speech Bubbles. Multiple options will come up, some with pre-filled text and others that are blank for you to type your own messages.

From here, you can click and drag the speech bubble wherever it fits best on your photo, and use the blue circles around it to resize and rotate.  If you hold down the Shift key while dragging the blue circles, you’ll be able to resize your speech bubble in freeform!

Notice that when you click on your speech bubble, a Graphic Properties toolbar appears. In this menu, you can flip the orientation of the speech bubble so it’s facing the correct direction, if need be. The Graphic Properties toolbar also presents you with tons of options to change the color, opacity, blend mode, and more!

When you’ve got your speech bubble exactly where you want it, it’s time for the fun part: adding some text. Click on the Text tab in the left menu and select Add Text . Select the text box that appears and start typing!

From the Text Properties toolbar that appears when your text box is selected, you can change the font, font color, paragraph orientation, and more. It’s best to start by resizing your text box to fit inside the speech bubble. That way, you’ll know exactly what the end result will look like.

Once you've got your text looking perfect, you're ready to save and share your photo! Using the Save button at the top of the Photo Editor, you'll be able to save your photo to your computer, Dropbox, and more.

If you're ready to share it on social media right away, select the Share button at the top of the Photo Editor and automatically post it to your Facebook, Pinterest, Tumblr, or Twitter!

Take It To The Next Level With Cartoonizer

If you’re going for more of a comic book feel, we’ve got some really cool effects that will take your photo to the next level! Clicking on the Artsy tab will open a huge library of photo to art effects that will transform your photo into something that looks like it came from the pages of a graphic novel. One of the best effects for this is BeFunky’s Cartoonizer .

When you click on the Cartoonizer category, you’ll find several effects that will take you from photo to cartoon in a single click. Preview each effect on your photo until you find one you love.

Notice that each Cartoonizer effect has it’s own Settings Menu where you can control the strength of the effect, colors, and detail level. Once you're satisfied, click Save.

The best part about these Photo To Art effects is that they’re completely exclusive to BeFunky - you can’t find them anywhere else. That means you’ve got yourself a photo that’s truly unique. And just look at that detail!

• Make A Speech Bubble In Word

Speech bubbles are a good way to help your document deliver its message. You’d be surprised at just how easy it is to make a speech bubble in Word .

Let’s get straight to it and add one now. On the Insert tab, click Shapes (in the Illustrations group) > Oval Callout . The shapes are not visibly named, but the Oval Callout shape is in the Callouts section near the bottom.

Clicking the shape doesn’t insert it; it simply activates the tool. You still need to draw the shape on the page by clicking and dragging in your document. Once you’ve clicked and dragged, you should get something like this:

This is all well and good if you want something quick. We, on the other hand, are genteel and sophisticated. We desire a speech bubble that has a curved bit like this:

We can make that curve by manipulating the points on the shape. If you’ve used image editors like Adobe Illustrator or Fireworks, this should be a doddle. If you haven’t, don’t worry because it’s quite easy anyway.

With the speech bubble still selected, make sure you’re working on the Format tab of the Drawing Tools contextual tab (it pops up whenever a shape is selected).

Click Edit Shape (in the Insert Shapes group) > Edit Points . You’ll notice that the bounding box for the shape has gone. Each point that defines the shape is also now selectable and able to be manipulated.

Click on the point right at the bottom and drag it further down. Because this point is now selected, you should see some yellow handles that you can drag around to alter the curve of the lines coming out of that point.

Try it. Drag those handles around to get a feel for how they affect the curvature. Those handles affect the curve of the lines near the selected point. To change the curvature of a line near the point at the other end, select that point and repeat the process. This is often necessary to achieve a nice smoothe curve.

To get the following speech bubble, drag the yellow handle on the right upwards and to the right. Do the same with the yellow handle on the left.

The curve looks fine as it leaves the bottom point, but it soon goes awry further up. We can fix that by selecting the point (click on it) and then by dragging the leftmost yellow handle to the right. You can even drag the point itself over to the right to get something like this:

Let’s create speech balloons! - How to use the balloon tool -

ClipStudioOfficial

Here we will explain how to create “Speech balloons” - a unique form of expression in comics - and well will introduce the balloon tools along with some other useful tips.

[1] Speech balloons in CLIP STUDIO PAINT

Speech balloon consists of a vector outline and an inner fill part (painted white in the figure below). The color and the opacity of the inner fill can be adjusted freely, and you can also hide or tone it. Furthermore, there are other ways to create balloons by freely drawing curves and going about it free hand all-together. In the example shown below, the outline is selected with the [Object] tool.

There are roughly 3 different ways to create speech balloon in CLIP STUDIO PAINT: [■1. Balloon (Creating with a tool)], [■2. Balloon (Material)], and [■3. Flash].

■1. How to make a speech balloon using the balloon tools.

The following will explain how to make a speech balloon using the [Ellipse balloon] sub tool.

① Entering characters (texts)

Enter text using the [Text] tool.

② Creating a balloon

Create the balloon’s body using the [Ellipse balloon] tool. The created balloon will be drawn on a [Balloon] layer.

• The [Ellipse balloon] sub tool is stored under [Balloon] in the [Balloon] tool palette in the initial settings.

③ Creating a balloon tail

Create the “tail” part sticking out of the balloon with the [Balloon tail] tool.

• The [Balloon tail] sub tool is stored under [Balloon] in the [Balloon] tool palette in the initial settings.

The order of creating balloons or text does not matter.

It does not matter, which is created first. A layer for the balloon or the text will be created regardless. By adding text or a balloon on the same layer, both can be managed collectively on the same layer.

④ Adjusting the balloon

After creating the balloon, clicking on it with the [Object] tool will display the handles. You can change the size and aspect ratio by adjusting the individual handles.

The settings can be adjusted in the [Tool Property] and [Sub Tool Detail] palettes before using the [Balloon] tool, or when selecting a balloon with the [Object] tool.

For details on the settings of the balloon tools, please refer to [2] “How to use balloon tools.”

■2. Speech balloons from balloon materials

Apart from using tools, speech balloons can also be created with default balloon materials, which can be selected from the [Material] palette under [Manga material] → [Balloon], and pasted onto the canvas.

The operations after pasting the balloons onto the canvas are the same as for the balloons created with the balloon tool.

■3. Balloon flash

Flash speech balloons consist of vector effect lines and an inner fill (painted white in the figure below). Like balloons, the color and opacity of the inner fill can be set freely, and be hidden or toned.

Flashes are stored under [Balloon] in the [Tool] palette, but they are also very similar to the [Saturated line] tool functionally.

• The [Flash] sub tool is contained in the [Flash] group under the [Balloon] tool in the initial settings.

The first two procedures when creating flashes are identical to normal speech balloons. However, as newly created flashes are drawn on a “saturated line” layer, operations differ from speech balloons created with balloon tools.

① Creating a flash

Use [Flash] from the [Sub Tool] palette to create a flash.

② Entering text

Enter text (characters) using the [Text] tool. Unlike the [Balloon] tool, the [Flash] tool does not combine as a text layer, but is operated separately.

③ Adjusting the flash

After creating the flash, click and select it with the [Object] tool to display the control handles. Change the size or aspect ratio by adjusting the individual handles.

Settings, such as the length of effect lines or the density of lines can be adjusted in the [Tool Property] and [Sub Tool Detail] palettes when using the [Flash] tool before creating the flash, or selecting the created flash with the [Object] tool. These can be used in the same way as the [Saturated line] tool.

[2] How to use balloon tools

The following will introduce how to create speech balloons using the [Balloon] sub tools.

■1. Ellipse balloon

Drag to select the start and end point of the ellipse, and determine the aspect ratio and size of it. Pressing the [Shift] key while dragging the balloon will draw a perfect circle.

This is the [Tool Property] of the [Ellipse balloon] sub tool.

① [Line color] and [Fill color]

Change the color of the line art and the balloon fill. Be aware that when making a new balloon, the colors may be limited to gray or monochrome depending on the canvas settings. Confirm or change this using the [Edit] menu → [Canvas properties] or [Page Management] → [Change basic page settings].

② [How to add]

If a text layer is already selected, selecting [Add to selected layer] will add a balloon to the same layer.

Turn [Layer effect] → [Toning] ON when applying a tone based on the color set by [① Fill color] to the created balloon. Set ⑥ Anti-aliasing to [None] when toning.

Select a balloon shape. Even if the figure changes, it can be created with the same steps.

⑤ [Brush Size]

Adjust the line width with this.

⑥ [Anti-aliasing]

Set whether or not to add anti-aliasing.

⑦ Brush shape

Select the shape of the brush tip.

The following are examples of [Pen], [Dotted line] and [Waved line] brush shapes.

■2. Curve balloon

Create a free shaped balloon by making curves. The method to create it changes with the selected ① [Curve].

Select a method to create a line.

・[Straight line]

Each time a point is clicked, a straight line between points will be drawn. Double click the final point to confirm.

A curve is drawn by clicking different points. Double click the final point (or press the Enter key) to confirm.

・[Quadratic Bezier] and [Cubic Bezier]

Create a balloon using a quadratic bezier or a cubic bezier.

Making ② pointed

If there are any corners on the line, they may become round when scaling up, due to the shape of the brush being used. Choose whether to sharpen these lines at the corners or not.

Items other than ① and ② in the [Tool Property] are the same as those in the [Ellipse balloon] tool.

■3. Balloon Pen

Create a balloon as if you are drawing with the [Pen] tool. This also supports pen pressure, therefore, speech bubbles with uneven strokes can be created.

In the settings, the thickness of the line can be adjusted so that the pen pressure works just like the [Pen] tool.

① Brush size

In the same way as the [Pen] tool, the line width can be changed by adjusting the brush size.

② Control brush size

Click on the icon to adjust the elements that affect the brush size. To apply pen pressure similarly to the [Pen] tool, check the [Pen pressure] and set it to ON. To prevent the pen pressure from being applied, turn all check marks OFF.

③ Post correction

This feature corrects lines to make them smoother.

■4. Settings when creating balloons: Other

In the [Sub Tool Detail] palette of the [Balloon] tool, there are items that are not displayed in the [Tool Property] palette. These special settings are as follows.

① [Line/Fill]

Select whether to display the balloon’s lines and fills. Increasing the transparency of the inside of the balloon, and adding edges when characters and images are superimposed will make it easier to read.

・ Create new layer

・ Add to selected layer

When creating a balloon near an existing balloon or text, select whether to create the balloon on a new layer or on the same one.

③ Combine with the text in the drawing area

Creating a balloon above inputted text will group the elements on the same text layer. Multiple text/balloon layers can also be combined into one layer afterwards.

[3] How to create balloon tails

Here we will show how to create a tail for a speech balloon. From [How to bend], choose a drawing type out of [Straight line], [Polyline] or [Spline].

[How to bend]

Choose between [Straight line], [Polyline] or [Spline].

A [Straight line] Creates a straight tail. Dragging between the start point 1 and the end point 2 creates a straight tail.

B [Polyline] Creates a tail with corners. Click to create corner parts starting from point 1, and keep clicking further to create more points. Confirm by double clicking at the last point.

C [Spline] Creates a curved tail. Start clicking the point 1to start, click in further to add more points, and confirm by double clicking at the last point.

[4] How to use the flash tool

Depending on the registered sub tool settings, the drawn content will change drastically.

To create a flash, set the size by dragging from the start point to the end point in the same way as the [Ellipse balloon].

■1. Creating a flash

Use the sub tool [Sea urchin flash] to create a flash.

■2. Adjusting the flash

We will adjust the created flash. In this example, the situation is that the lines are “too long”, “too thick” and “not blank inside” as compared to what is intended.

Selecting the [Object] tool will display the path of the flash sheech balloon.

■3. Adjusting the line width and density

Adjust the flash with the [Tool Property] palette.

・Make the lines thinner by adjusting the [Brush Size].

・Adjust the line density using [Gap of line (distance)].

This process is executed as thinner lines create wider gaps between lines.

■4. Adjusting the line length

・Shorten the [Length].

■Adjusting the “Rough edges”

Click the [+] mark on the left side of [Make the reference position jags] to access further settings. Lowering the value of [Height] and shortening the rough edges makes it more like a sea urchin flash.

■6. Adjusting the flash size

Using the handle displayed on the path of the flash, adjust the size of the flash so that it matches the text.

[5] Advanced use of Balloon/Flash

■1. Combining multiple balloons (* only speech balloons)

The overlapping parts will combine when multiple balloons are gathered on one layer. Keep the balloons on separate layers to display them separately, and create them on one layer to combine them.

To gather multiple existing balloon layers, select the layers to gather and use [Layer] menu → [Merge with layer below] or [Combine selected layer].

■2. Fitting a balloon in a frame border - advanced use of layer masks

Each balloon and flash created will be managed on its own layer. Drawing tools such as [Pen] and [Eraser] are unavailable on these layers. When erasing a section, use a mask. Furthermore, by rasterizing the layer with the [Layer] menu → [Rasterize], you can directly draw and erase the balloon. However, you will not be able to make any further edits to the contents.

When using balloons and flash tools, it may overlap with frame borders. A [Mask] can be useful in that case.

• For more functional details on layer masks, please refer to “How to master the layer mask 1”.

① Specify the display area

Mask so that the speech bubble does not overlap with the frame border or the characters. Select the area using tools such as the [Auto select] tool.

Using the [Selection Area] menu → [Quick Mask] is beneficial as the area can be selected using the [Fill] tools or other drawing tools, etc.

② Creating a layer mask

After creating the selection area, select [Layer] menu → [Layer Mask] → [Mask Outside Selection] to create a layer mask. To hide the selected area, choose [Mask Selection]. The created mask can be checked via the thumbnail displayed in the [Layer] palette.

Display the mask from the [Layer] menu → [Layer Mask] → [Show Mask Area].

The mask can be toggled ON/OFF with the following operations.

・Color of the masked sections: [Alt] + thumbnail mask click

・Toggling ON/OFF of the mask itself: Click [Shift] + thumbnail mask

③ The completed masked flash

The flash is completed if the created flash is partially masked and hidden. Further adjustments are possible as long as the layer of the flash is not rasterized (by combining images etc.).

・Masking multiple flashes

For balloons created with the [Balloon] tool, multiple balloons can be registered on a single special layer, but for flashes created using the [Flash] tool, one flash occupies one layer.

To use the same mask on multiple flashes, make a folder containing multiple flash layers and apply a mask to the folder.

It is useful to use [Divide frame folder] when creating frame borders, as a mask is created on each frame. By creating a balloon or flash inside the frame border folder, the mask will hide the part sticking out of the frame border.

• In the initial settings, the [Divide frame folder] sub tool is stored under [Cut frame border] of the [Frame border] tool.

This concludes the lesson on how to use the balloon tool. When creating a balloons, please also have a look as “How to use text tools”.

Online Speech Bubble Maker

To get started, choose one of the two options below. You can create a speech bubble image with your own photo or choose a random stock photo.

6 Printable Speech Bubbles for Scrapbooking

Rebecca Ludens is a paper crafts expert and writer with two decades of hands-on scrapbooking and paper crafting experience. She authored "Teach Yourself Visually Scrapbooking," designed products for craft companies such as Artistic Wire and The Paper Loft, and teaches scrapbooking at workshops nationwide.

Speech bubbles might make you think of classic comic books, but they also make a cute addition to scrapbooks and other paper projects. You can use the bubbles for journaling, quotes, or sayings on  scrapbook page  layouts of any theme.

Instructions for Using Speech Bubble Printables

To save the speech bubble templates to your computer, simply right-click the full-size image and select "save as."

To resize and print, right-click and select "copy." Open a word processing document and right-click on it and select "paste." Then, click anywhere on the image to select it and then click and drag one corner to resize it.

This is a classic speech bubble with clean lines.

Rounded Square

A rounded square pattern like this one works well with more text.

A square "bubble" can hold a large text block ​and gives a contemporary look to your scrapbook page.

Thought Bubble

Add a contemplative thought bubble to capture the thinking of your photo subject.

This pattern includes a fun arrow, which is a great visual queue for drawing the viewer's eyes to just the right point on the scrapbook page. 

This design would be great on a superhero-themed scrapbook page. Can't you imagine it saying "Ka-pow!"?

7 Best Speech Bubble Makers to Try in 2024

By Eva Williams 19 days ago, Software Reviews

To show your character’s thoughts or make it speak in an image or a video, you should try one of these speech bubble makers. You can add such word balloons to any subject including a person, an animal, a cartoon character, and even an inanimate object. The programs reviewed in this guide are available online, and some of them are great for enhancing photos, while others are designed with clip editing in mind.

When selecting the programs for this review, I considered such aspects as interface convenience and availability of templates for a streamlined workflow. Besides, some options also offer additional features for enhancing images, resizing and cropping them.

How Quickly Turn Photo into Comics?

Verdict : To insert a text balloon using Kapwing, look for the necessary clip art on the main toolbar. Another way is to choose “Images” and then an “Emoji” tab. The program has an extensive collection of built-in bubbles for Apple iOS. Besides, you can find a speech bubble PNG in Google or use the shape from the “Shapes” tab.

How to Add a Speech or Thought Bubble to a Photo or Video

Put a speech or thought bubble into your video using this free online tool. Make your subjects think or say something by adding a sticker and adding text. Perfect for making comics, animations, memes, and more.

A picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes, adding words to a picture adds context or humor that would otherwise be missed. A thought bubble or speech bubble is a bubble of text ascribed to a certain individual in the scene that derives from comic books.

You can use a thought bubble to show what someone is really thinking, without them having to verbalize it in video or having to use captions.

Here’s how to add a speech or thought bubble to your photo or video in 3 steps:

• Choose your photo/video
• Add your speech/thought bubble(s)
• Finish and share

Step 1: Choose your photo/video

Upload your content to Kapwing’s Video Collage Creator .

Using the resize tool, change your photo or video dimensions as desired. 1:1 format is best for Instagram. 9:16 is portrait mode dimensions. 16:9 is the standard landscape mode dimensions. There are also special dimensions for social media available, or create your own custom dimensions!

Step 2: Add your speech/thought bubble(s)

There's many different ways to add a speech bubble inside of the Kapwing Studio:

• Image Search : Go to the "Images" tool in the main toolbar and search for “speech bubble” or “thought bubble” to find those images. Make sure the image is transparent or use the " Erase " tool to remove the background from the sticker. You can also add the keywords “transparent,” “png,” or “svg” to find more transparent images.
• Emoji : Add a speech or thought emoji by clicking "Images" and the "Emoji" tab. Kapwing has the full library of Apple iOS emojis built in. Then, scroll down to find the thought bubble emoji and add it to your picture or video.
• Upload : Find a speech bubble PNG that you want to use on Google Image search or anywhere else online and upload that file to Kapwing. You can also copy/paste the image from your clipboard.
• Shapes : Kapwing has a speech bubble shape in the "Shapes" tab. You can add the speech bubble and change the fill and outline color.

After you add the speech or thought bubble, click on your image overlay to resize and position it on the image or video.

Once you are happy with your bubble, click “Add Text” to add its contents. Add anything or everything you are thinking or feeling to your image. Then, style and resize the text so that it fits within the speech bubble.

If you are adding bubbles to a video, check out the timeline feature in the bottom panel to time your bubbles to appear and disappear as the video plays. You can use the "Timeline" button in the main toolbar. In the example below, I added a speech bubble for a short part of the video using Timeline.

Step 3: Finish and share

Once you are happy with your image or video, click Export in the top corner of the screen. After a few moments of processing, Kapwing will return the file that you can save to your computer or phone. Download or share the Kapwing link with your friends!

Bubble Chat

With the in-experience text chat system, you can support bubble chat to display customizable speech chat bubbles above user avatars and NPCs. Bubble chat can make your experience more visually immersive and help users easily identify messages and their speakers in a contextually relevant manner. This feature is especially useful for experiences where users need to focus on the content in the meantime communicating with others in a less obtrusive way.

Bubble Chat Configuration

To enable bubble chat in your experience:

In the Explorer window, select BubbleChatConfiguration under TextChatService .

In the Properties window, check the Enabled checkbox under the Behavior category.

Bubble Customization

After enabling bubble chat, you can customize the appearance and behavior of your chat bubbles to match your experience theme. Use the Properties window of BubbleChatConfiguration for basic changes like text color and spacing. For advanced customization, such as adding background images for bubbles, add UI objects as children of BubbleChatConfiguration and then modify these objects.

Alternatively, you can add a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts with all your customization settings. This allows the engine to apply your customizations during runtime, overriding the settings in Studio. It's useful for adding special effects to chat bubbles when users trigger certain events or conditions.

Basic Customization

The following table shows common bubble chat customization properties. For a full list of customization properties, see BubbleChatConfiguration .

Advanced Customization

For advanced customization of your bubble, add UI objects representing certain aspects of the bubble appearance as children under BubbleChatConfiguration , including:

• ImageLabel for background image settings.
• UIGradient for background gradient settings.
• UICorner for the corner shape of bubbles.
• UIPadding for the padding space between the text and bubble edges, relative to the parent's normal size.

To add these objects as children of BubbleChatConfiguration , you can either add a script or use the Studio user interface directly:

• Hover over BubbleChatConfiguration and click the ⊕ button.
• Select the object from list.

After adding these objects, you can modify properties of these objects applicable to chat bubbles for advanced bubble customization. The following example client-side LocalScript adds a background image and sharp corners to bubbles:

The following tables include all available properties for customization:

Per-Bubble Customization

You can individually style and modify chat bubble behaviors based on specific conditions that overrides your general settings. For example, you can use chat bubbles to differentiate NPCs and users, highlight critical health status, and apply special effects to messages with pre-defined keywords.

To set per-bubble customization, add a client-side LocalScript using BubbleChatMessageProperties , which overrides matching properties of BubbleChatConfiguration , and the TextChatService.OnBubbleAdded callback to specify how to customize each bubble. The callback supplies you with the TextChatMessage property as well as the adornee, so you can apply the customization based on attributes associated with users, the chat text content, user character properties, and any special conditions you want to define.

The following example adds special appearance to VIP users' chat bubbles by checking if a chat message sender has the IsVIP attribute:

Available Options

The following basic customization properties are available for per-bubble customization:

All advanced customization options are available for per-bubble customization. Similar to advanced customization for general bubbles, add instances that you want to customize as children of BubbleChatMessageProperties . The following example adds a special gradient effect along with other properties to chat bubbles of users with low health status by checking the Humanoid.Health property of chat message senders' characters:

NPC Bubbles

You can display chat bubbles for non-player characters (NPCs) by calling TextChatService:DisplayBubble() , with the NPC character and the message as parameters. These bubbles are customizable using the TextChatService.OnBubbleAdded callback just like any other chat bubble.

TextChatService:DisplayBubble() only works on client-side scripts, so be sure to use a LocalScript in an appropriate container , such as StarterPlayerScripts . If you attach a ProximityPrompt to an NPC, a script for displaying a chat bubble might look like this:

Give your image a voice with a speech bubble

Draw your audience’s eyes to your message by wrapping it in a speech bubble. We have hundreds to choose from and you can even design your own.

*Free. No credit card required.

Speech bubble, thought bubble, text bubble —whatever you call ‘em—add ‘em with Snappa

Choose from hundreds of speech bubbles

Click Graphics → Icons or Vectors → then search “speech bubble” or “thought bubble” to reveal hundreds of choices.

Add your own finishing touches

Once you find the right shape for your speech bubble, it’s time to make it your own.

Change the size of your text bubble and its fill color by choosing from our palette of popular colors or by playing with the color picker, and increase or decrease opacity until it's exactly what you envisioned.

Flip and rotate speech bubbles

Isn’t it annoying when you have the perfect image and the perfect speech bubble, but the mouth of the image’s subject and the speech bubble don’t line up?

With Snappa, you can flip any speech bubble in one click then rotate it until it lines up.

Add text to speech bubbles

A speech bubble without text is... a bubble?

Add text to your bubble in one click, choose from 200+ fonts or upload your own, and play with font styles, color, shadows, blur, letter spacing and line height until you achieve the look you’re after.

Bring attention to offers

Just try to ignore the text inside of a speech bubble. You can’t. So what better place to hint at an offer or sale?

Show what someone’s thinking

Drop a thought bubble on to your image and add text that says what you want your customers to think about.

Create a comic strip

Drag ’n’ drop images of two or more people on to your background, add speech bubbles and text, and you’ve captured a full-blown convo.

Narrator dialogue bubble?

you can choose the speech bubble type youd like when creating your story.

if youre talking about the type of bubble like that , this is how you do it : NARRATOR (CHARACTERNAME) [enter speech here].

hope this helps !

If you want it too look like a narration and not an actual thought bubble it’s NARRATOR (CHARACTER NAME) Blah blah blah.

But if you mean the style, then you’ll have to choose what style when you first create your story, it’ll pop up, you won’t miss it.

Like others said above, you have to type out NARRATOR (CHARACTER NAME). If you mean the actual style of the speech bubble and the fact that it’s purple, after you create your story you’ll see that underneath where it says ‘Work on your story’, it will have an option to click on the ‘Speech Bubbles’ section. This is where you can choose the colours, grey, blue, purple or pink.

Amanda Says She’s “100 Percent” Moving — Even if It Means Being “Long Distance” with Kyle

Amanda Batula explained in an interview with The Daily Dish just how determined she is to relocate from New York City to New Jersey.

Amanda Batula  has made it clear on Season 8 of  Summer House  that she's more than ready to  relocate from New York City to New Jersey , but her husband  Kyle Cooke  remains unconvinced to this day. 

How to Watch

Watch  Summer House  on Bravo Thursdays at 9/8c and next day on  Peacock . Catch up on the  Bravo app .

That might not be enough to stop Amanda from moving, though. 

Are Amanda Batula and Kyle Cooke moving to New Jersey?

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Dish in March, Amanda said there's "nothing" going on in her and Kyle's house hunt . "We probably won't seriously look for a house, or have like a super serious conversation about where we're gonna live until I'm pregnant," Amanda said. "Kyle works amazing under pressure. So, there's gonna have to be some reason." 

Should Kyle remain adamant they stay in New York City, Amanda said, "Oh, we're moving to New Jersey. Like, 100 percent. I'm moving by myself and we'll have a long-distance relationship if he's against it."

Why doesn't Kyle Cooke want to move to New Jersey?

Kyle hasn't ruled out a move entirely, but as he explained on the  Summer House After Show , he's simply not ready to relocate quite yet.

"I do want a house where my kids can play in a yard and play with their neighbors, but we don't have kids yet. We're not even trying to have kids," Kyle said. "I would also feel completely cut off from society — Amanda's okay with that, I'm not — but the thing that scares me the most is if we prematurely jump out to the 'burbs, I just feel like I'm gonna be trapped. Amanda's very content sitting on the couch watching TV. She's not good at keeping up with her friends and making efforts to be social with them. If I work a lot, I need a social outlet. And I would feel completely cut off from society."

Hear Kyle and Amanda further discuss the possibility of moving to New Jersey in the above Summer House After Show clip.

Get benefits claimants back to work – cleaning our filthy streets

Not far off half a million young people are on out-of-work benefits, the vast majority of whom would be able to do some work

Excuse me while I side-step steaming piles of rubbish and try not to tread on the remains of someone’s take-away. The pavement is so flecked with blobs of chewing gum and putrid pools of God-knows-what that getting from A to B by Shanks’s pony requires a hopscotch-style jump/walk .

When exactly did our streets become so disgusting and why don’t we do something about it? After all, it doesn’t have to be like this – as anyone who has travelled to well-run towns and cities in other parts of the world knows. Take Tokyo, which hardly has any bins but is litter free, because pedestrians have been conditioned to take their rubbish home. Then there’s Dubai, where some pavements literally shine. 

The last time I was there, I spotted a single piece of litter on the road, and it was a noteworthy event. Sure, there’s less alcohol sloshing around, but this is as much about civic pride, general standards of behaviour and the prioritisation of local government resources as it is about booze. Anti-social behaviour, marauding around tossing half-eaten kebabs in the gutter and throwing up on the pavement just isn’t a thing. 

By contrast, back streets in certain deprived areas are now little short of a health hazard – as shocking images posted on social media by the MP Lee Anderson recently exposed. His video of an alleyway in Blackpool outside “homes of multiple occupancy” featured plastic bags, dirty nappies, even a dead pigeon – a damning illustration of a total loss of respect for public spaces in some areas.

As councils grapple with a soaring population and salami-sliced budgets, street cleaning is taking a hammering. Numerous local authorities have warned that they are likely to cut such services in an effort to make ends meet. Greenwich council recently floated plans to save more than £1 million by reducing the frequency of street sweeping from weekly to as little as once a month. When the rat population explodes, any initial savings will doubtless be swiftly negated by pest control bills.

Back in the Blair years, a spirited Labour minister called Hazel Blears was widely lampooned for suggesting that offenders could play their part in cleaning up Britain. Rather than festering in their cells, they could be made to don orange jumpsuits and set to work. Obviously it wouldn’t have been successful on a Saturday night in Soho, but a carefully managed programme could have worked wonders by the plastic-strewn A34. Unfortunately, it all sounded too “Texan chain gang” for the Islington commentariat and the idea hit the buffers.

During the Coalition years, Iain Duncan Smith came up with a variation of the same theme with a “Work Activity” scheme aimed at the unemployed. In 2011, the Department of Work and Pensions announced plans to force benefit claimants to undertake community work, such as litter picking, in return for handouts. Cue howls of indignation from the usual suspects about “demeaning” those who were out of work. The tentative scheme lacked the political conviction required to get it – and any rubbish – properly off the ground, and it was eventually scrapped.

Around this time, a high-profile legal case brought by a young benefit claimant who didn’t like being sent on a mandatory work placement at Poundland made such initiatives more difficult. In a ruling that undermined the vital principle of attaching conditionality to welfare, a judge stopped short of agreeing that the scheme constituted “slave labour” but declared it unlawful on a technicality. The decision reinforced the idea of something for nothing, and erected more political obstacles to the introduction of other such schemes.

All that was over a decade ago, and the number of young people hanging around doing next to nothing courtesy of hard-working taxpayers is larger than ever. But there is plenty for them to do. Millions of smokers still seem to think cigarette butts evaporate on contact with the pavement. Council refuse collection services are no match for the scale of detritus from street-food stalls. The paucity of bins – a lingering legacy of the Troubles, when they made a perfect hiding place for IRA bombs – are a partial explanation, though no excuse. Nobody is ever fined, so they keep on throwing.

According to the latest official figures, not far off half a million young people aged 18 to 24 are on out-of-work benefits, the vast majority of whom would be physically able to do some work. Many complain of mental health problems that might well be alleviated by fresh air; camaraderie, and a sense of accomplishment at the end of the day. The physical exercise associated with compulsory litter-picking sessions surely wouldn’t go amiss. 

So let’s fill their yawning days with a sense of purpose and get them doing their bit, transforming our streets from an embarrassment into an urban landscape befitting the sixth largest economy in the world. Once the scheme is under way, I’ll wager that there will be a rush of applications for more salubrious jobs.
