[freakup2]

[MinecraftCartoon]

lol "i gonna go over here and hold shit hoh hold shift" 11:51

[DasBeda]

The "strokes becoming straight lines thing" is really annoying. whenever I draw a hand flash changes it to a goddamn square! wtf? But this tutorial is seroiulsy helping me out...

[DasBeda]

@DasBeda nevermind my last post, I just figured out how to stop this bullshit...

[freakup2]

@DasBeda how did you fix it avery time i draw something from the pencil it get all square type plz help

[DasBeda]

@freakup2 im not using the english version of flash so its kinda hard to explain. but basically, after you select the pencil there are these pencil-options on the bottom yof your toolbar. (the bar in which you also select the pencil) and there are diffrent peciol modes: straighten, smoothen or freehand. and these options let you draw rounder shapes.

[freakup2]

@DasBeda thx dude

[OklahomaBott]

i got problems with the nose... everytime i draw it the strokes become lines >.< can anyone help me?

[60spaure]

my lines are okay when i draw but after they are harsh (curves are sometimes changed to straight lines)

[kastastan]

@60spaure use a brush. if you want anyway. i would really recommend it.

[joeygrindsgears]

@jacobknighj it because you're working with an object drawing...turn it into a merge drawing and the drawing will be shaded when selected.

[RATHAHONNI]

@truckcompany ,Hi, i feel u'r frustration at times but the upside is when u do learn it,u don't forget it.Just watch the tutorial again and again,seem's u always miss something,keep at it and good luck!

[truckcompany]

@RATHAHONNI

I got it in the end, just looked at my comment again. I was sooo raging then lol

[thechosen261]

Man, you are such a good tutor at flash drawing! I study a unit at Univrsity called '2d animation and design' and i really have benefitted from this video! Its really good! I wish I had you as my tutor, 'cos you're that good. Just one thing; I use cs5 instead of 4, so would I run into any probs when animating characters?

[TheDrTwist]

how do i get my pencil tool to stop exaggerating everything into straight lines. i cant get round lines unless its a really big curve

[dandokiller]

@TheDrTwist Choose the Pencil, click on Scale, choose None.

[tobyhawk828]

@TheDrTwist in the bottym it says pencil mode, click that and hit "INC" and there it is 

[0Artist0]

@TheDrTwist

In the tools section you will see a tiny box that looks like ~ sideways. Click on it. It opens up a menu and you can select from 3 options. Select the one on the bottom about ink. And it wont auto correct your pencil lines. Unfortunately this is not available for brushing. But be careful, you can have really ugly choppy lines working this way.

[lurkingshadow666]

@TheDrTwist try zooming in , it works for me

[Duskpwner]

@TheDrTwist use the paint brush tool. Thats what i did

[Blackshadow164]

@TheDrTwist same here

[Jermz1997]

@TheDrTwist

Then do a really big curve.

[SearchingForDreams]

@TheDrTwist choose smooth in pencil mode :)

[MrChickenCookie]

@TheDrTwist At the bottom of the tools while in the pencil tool there is a thing that says Shape drawer and Line drawer. Click shape drawer and you are good! I hoped this helped you. I'm new to flash and I was playing around trying to fix your problem and it was a lucky find. -MrChickenCookie

[Hawkstar888]

@TheDrTwist when you have the pencil selected, the last icon on the side should be "pencil mode", click and then select "Ink"

[stilliving]

@TheDrTwist whenever a tool is selected you'll see from this video that settings for the tool are to the lower section of the tool panel. Look down the bottom for a step-like line. Click and hold, 3 options will appear, select the option that says smooth. All the best.

[NumberOneFear]

@stilliving do u know why i cant colour the hair? the head get coloured instead! :(

[NumberOneFear]

@stilliving nvm figured it out lol

[MrFiroz66]

i feel sleepy

[theMrdingdongs]

you are a great teacher but the bad thing about this video in particular is that its way to long

[NukeArtsFilms]

[coolharry81]

[sickbubblegum66]

[HeadEXplosianstudios]

[SuperGintu]

[kiren77]

just go all the way down in your toolbar you have a " S " shape click hold it and change it to smooth

[mezigpo]

You're genius. ..... I wanted to ask you if I'm really good at Adobe Flash, will I get a good job?

[ShampooDodo]

why does it take so long... o-o

[nintendex07]

@ShampooDodo Making flash animations take time dude. Patience needed.

[ShampooDodo]

@nintendex07 ah ;3 But it did helped me even tough I only watched a view minutes ;P

and it's Dudette for you xD

[nintendex07]

@ShampooDodo lol sorry there dudette, but make sure you have the time, for animating, and for watching long tutorials. :)

[ShampooDodo]

@nintendex07 haha sure x3

[TheTremor209]

how to save it as a transparent drawing?

[ShampooDodo]

@TheTremor209 Save it as a .png not .jpg becouse then everything will be white

[TheTremor209]

@ShampooDodo I know, but where I should I able to find the save image button?

[ShampooDodo]

@TheTremor209 You've got to do: File, export, export image, then you just do what you always do like give it a name and save it as a png and then you saved it ^^

[TheTremor209]

@ShampooDodo Thank you buddy!! I feel like I want to give up, but u gave me way!!

[ShampooDodo]

@TheTremor209 No problem man ^^

And never give up ;) I wanted to give up on animating with sony vegas pro too but then I just tried again and now I know a lot about it ^^

Byee~!
