Look over my shoulder...

Posted by BoMToons - June 26th, 2008

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 )

Nice bom! you should have put some music to entertain me more though >.< but, still amazing.

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

BoMToons 2008-06-26 02:55:02

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.

Cool, you are a regular stan lee.

BoMToons 2008-06-26 04:38:53

TomaMoto 2008-06-26 05:24:10

Tomorrows-Nobody 2008-06-26 07:43:46

Luis 2008-06-26 08:13:23

BoMToons 2008-06-26 08:13:23

I was hopped up on caffeine.

watmat1 2008-06-26 08:14:27

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

JonBro 2008-06-26 11:26:30

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.

BoMToons 2008-06-26 11:26:30

shhhh, secret!

Coolio-Niato 2008-06-26 11:26:53

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

BoMToons 2008-06-26 11:26:53

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

Snubby 2008-06-26 12:01:09

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.

BoMToons 2008-06-26 12:01:09

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.

Lalo 2008-06-26 13:24:20

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

BoMToons 2008-06-26 13:24:20

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

Rudy 2008-06-26 13:43:38

Nice Job, my good ol' chump.

BoMToons 2008-06-26 13:43:38
