Digital caricature. Cartoon Drawing in Adobe Flash
Cartoons on the Adobe Flash 1
Dan Gibson here. Some of you know me as a cartoonist Gibbleguts.com drawing cartoons.
It's been many moons since I've drawn a cartoon with a pencil and ink on paper. These days I can draw my comics right on my PC with a Wacom digital drawing tablet and Adobe Flash.
It is no surprise that so many artists these days have made the step to caricature without support role, and rightly so. The following are just some of the many advantages to the development of cartoons in Flash.
1: You will save money
Once the initial investment to buy Adobe Flash and a Wacom tablet, which is almost free cartoon thereafter. Sure you can spend a wad on the best hardware and software, but I really do not have to. You can actually get created with a minimum outlay. I started with a small 4×6 Wacom tablet that I bought in a local electronics store for less than $ 100, and an older version of Flash on Ebay for about the same. Although the initial cost was a couple of hundred dollars, compared to the money that was spent on art supplies and equipment, drawing cartoons in Flash is a real bargain.
2: Control:
Drawing comics in Flash that offers total control over the composition of your artwork. Settings, characters and objects can be grouped and processed in separate layers. This gives you the ability to change the resize, move or edit the elements of the story independently of each other. If you make a mistake is easily corrected without affecting the other elements of caricature. I still remember the anguish of making a mistake, or the anguish of cancellation more than a bottle of ink in a caricature done.
Here is another great advantage … Because Flash is a vector-based drawing environment, you can scale cartoon artwork "up" without any loss of quality. This is really useful if later, for example, you need a larger image to print on a shirt.
3: Speed:
For me, the biggest advantage of drawing digitally animated in Flash, is the factor of speed and efficiency. In the old days of drawing on paper, the hassle of preparation and clean often dissuaded me cartoons whim. With the time constraints of everyday life, it was often difficult to squeeze in a quick caricature between school, work, work etc. Had to be dismantled feathers and rinse, cut cardboard, draw lines to the guidelines of the letters, draw sketches, drawings, ink, erase the pencil lines, white-ups screw … yada yada yada. Cartoon of paper, anything that removes monotony. Not only saves time but also make more money. For example, I had an order for more than a hundred cartoon panel, and had four weeks to complete the job. I was able to process a draft within 17 days thanks to my trusty Wacom tablet and Flash. Ka-Ching!
