In this audio+video episode of the Polytechnicast I’m joined by special guest Javen Ackerman, creator of the comics The Winchcombe and Q Burger! In recent years, Javen has made Adobe Illustrator the main tool he uses to produce comics. We chat about his process and in the video you'll see him demonstrate his techniques and get a glimpse of how he takes full advantage of Adobe Illustrator to work quickly and efficiently.
