Comics Are Great! 37 - Adobe Illustrating

We've got two super cartoonists in the studio this week for a discussion on digital vs analog tools, with a demonstration on how to draw with what might be the program that perplexes the most cartoonists--Adobe Illustrator!

And who better to demo than Jannie Ho (http://chickengirldesign.com), children's book illustrator and comics artist, widely known for her work on The Great Reindeer Rebellion, Light the Menorah, and Lily's Lucky Leotard.

Also in studio we have Ryan Estrada (http://ryanestrada.com), author of Aki Alliance, The Kind You Don't Take Home to Mother, and Chillin' Like Villains (or you can just download the Complete Ryan Estrada Collection to get them all--for free!). Ryan was recently included in the next Machine of Death collection as well.

Together we talk a bit about Ryan's recent adventures in South America and finding out he was a Google Plus star upon his return home. After revisiting some talk on social networking we started in Comics Are Great! episode 17, we move on to some drawing demos from Ryan and Jannie.

We're joined once again by Eli Neiburger of the Ann Arbor District Library (http://aadl.org), who shares some closing thoughts and great book recommendations!

Recorded live every Wednesday out of the Ann Arbor District Library at 12:30 pm EST at http://comicsaregreat.tv
