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.

Here is what I found out about this game https://candy-land.fandom.com/wiki/Candy_Land_Wiki Candy Land is a board game about children exploring a world made out of candy and other sweets that originally came out in 1949.

How I use one Gmail address for multiple Soundcloud accounts

Do you know the Gmail "+" trick to use one email for multiple accounts on one service? Here's a little trick I use that works for any service. I talked about this on the podcast episode I did with artist Mortimur K . In this case, let's say I used up all the uploads I have for my free Soundcloud account . With this trick, I can open a new free account and use the same Gmail address. I don't want to create another Gmail account to sign up again. Using my one Gmail address for multiple accounts on the same service I don't remember when I learned this but you can alter the name on a Gmail address. Like, let's say mine is "tom@gmail.com". To be clear that is not my email. I wish it was, but this is just a short example.

Rethinking Streaming: Why Do I Need an Account Just to Listen to a Song?

A while back, I asked a simple question online: "If you could change one thing about music streaming, what would it be?" One response I got from someone, I wasn't sure I understood the problem, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized they had a point.
