Making cartoon word balloons in Medibang Paint with the circle guide tool

There is a circular guide tool in the Medibang Paint comic drawing app. And I use this to draw my word balloons.

Selecting the circle guide

So with the drawing tool selected, I can go to the top menu and choose this circle guide button here.

After the circle guide appears on the screen I can move it and size it the way I want.

Drawing the word balloon

Then I can draw an outline on the circle guide and now that I have an oval that's above my character's head I select the erase tool and remove a section of it to draw the balloon tail. And now I've drawn a little word bubble.

Now I just need to color it in so I go to the color layer, pick the bucket fill tool, select white for the color, and fill in the word balloon.

Now I can add text to that.

December snow.

It's snowed a few times this year I don't know why this time felt different.

Still dealing with items.

I had to create a claim on the USPS website for the package in New York. And I had hoped I could ship my laptop from home but the return instructions said it had to be sent from the UPS facility.

Missing label.

When I took the label back to the post office he told me I need to bring my own tape to put it on the package next time. I'm hoping there won't be a next time.

Paint run.

A few years ago scheduling MRI's would consume our whole day . Now we were happy that we could just do something to help other people in some way. Even if it was just driving to get the paint they needed. And we did make it back in time for for Merijoy's appointment.
