Comics Are Great! 59 – Speed Comicking
by dubaym
Making comics takes a lot of time. We all understand this. But Ryan Estrada shows us that it doesn’t have to take as much time as we think it does! This time we’re treated to what is essentially an online workshop in automating much of the comics process to speed things along and maximize our time behind the desk. You might want to watch the video for this one to see how Ryan uses the Photoshop Actions Palette, Layer Groups, and the Mac program Automator in order to get lots more work done.
We’re joined later by Erin Helmrich of the Ann Arbor District Library for another great round of book recommendations!
