Look over my shoulder...

Posted by BoMToons Jun. 26, 2008 @ 1:39 AM EDT

I got roped into producing 8 mini-comics over the last 3 days for an alliance Woogi World has with a "Weekly Reader" type paper distributed in elementary schools.

Basically, the 3 frame comic introduces a storyline and a "secret" code the kids can use to play a game on Woogi World that relates to the comic.

I decided to record myself producing one of the comics, so here's your chance to look over my shoulder while I'm drawing in flash. Lucky you!

The comic below is about Dr. Wiggenstein outfitting his "Science Cadets" to explore Woogi World's oceans, rivers, lakes, etc.

( 600% - about an hour's work sped up to fit in 9:30 )

I assume you don't use pressure sensitivity for the lineart right?

Jun. 26, 2008 | 11:03 AM BoMToons responds:

I was using pressure sensitivity, but the "smoothing" was turned way down...I've been experimenting with different smoothing settings and really low, like 30, seemed to work best for these comics.

I was hopped up on caffeine.

Awesome drawing, but for some reason, i dont like the colors u chose


Jun. 26, 2008 | 8:32 AM super-sense says:

You're really quick at drawing, it's pretty impressive. I liked the way you ekpt improving it throughout the duration of the movie.

What version of flash did you use? And does it come with that type of brush?

Jun. 26, 2008 | 11:06 AM BoMToons responds:

Well, to be honest, it was sped up 6 times.

I was using flash CS3, but paint brushes and pressure sensitivity have been around for many versions of flash.


Jun. 26, 2008 | 11:26 AM JonBro says:

Ah, so you draw everything with solid colors first, and then you add alpha shading. THAT'S how you do it.

I always put shading in my movies and drawings the way Wonchop does. I draw a line over my picture, fill in one part with a different color, and then delete the line.

Jun. 26, 2008 | 11:35 AM BoMToons responds:

shhhh, secret!


Jun. 26, 2008 | 11:26 AM Coolio-Niato says:

I like how you only opened MSN once during it, a curse I can't break :P

Jun. 26, 2008 | 11:36 AM BoMToons responds:

AIM actually, and it was work related, but I can see how chat would be a time sucker.


Jun. 26, 2008 | 12:01 PM Snubby says:

Yeah nice job. I always thought you were using the line tool for stuff like this, most of your stuff doesn't appear to be in paintbrush.

Jun. 26, 2008 | 12:24 PM BoMToons responds:

Lots of my stuff isn't done using the brush, but now that I've had my tablet for a while I'm getting more used to it.


Jun. 26, 2008 | 1:24 PM Lalo says:

Did you use the pencil tool for the outlines or the brush tool?

Jun. 26, 2008 | 2:39 PM BoMToons responds:

I used the pressure sensitive brush tool with my tablet for everything.


Jun. 26, 2008 | 1:43 PM Rudy says:

Nice Job, my good ol' chump.

Jun. 26, 2008 | 2:40 PM BoMToons responds:
