Drawing with the mouse

[ishouldplayzelda]

if you want to be efficient then i'm pretty sure you need a tablet... unless your just SO fucking good with a mouse

[thebrawlgamerxD]

Tablet is AWESOME

[Dskater101]

What if it was a drawing with tons of shading and detail in it, That would require a tablet as you would keep having to go through all the tools such as opacity and brush size which would make it take forever.

[shadowsgirl5678]

@Angel4ever44 which i don't

[landdemon99]

its easyer to draw with a tablet i own one too its cool but not cheap

[EasyMarketingMLM]

I have the same mouse! I also got a cheap tablet. I like to draw with both of them.

[firestar4eva]

i have a tablet and i think that i draw pretty good with it sometimes.... without it i cant draw crap

[th3MUTT]

i have never used a tablet, but I think I am pretty good for a dude who uses just a mouse... its a challenge I do agree, but its all i have :P

[BlueTropX]

Yeah you can draw with a mouse, but it's much harder. I advice lowering the sensitivity, since when you draw your hand is used to moving a lot, but when using a mouse you only do small moevments to move the mosue.

[Clerocs]

i use mouse in ms paint and ya i do pastal paint

xDDD

[OverStuffedTaco]

the whole process of making the entire movie must take alot of coffee.

[xy274]

dam...then i would never last in movie making. cant stand the taste of coffee

[pokemon1059]

oh i remember your flash on newgrounds preety cool

[Legified]

dam,... you make it seem easier than lol.

[terror0earth]

mine isnt...optical x_x

[TheGoonsies]

lol that's the mouse i use

[Makron5]

I was hoping for a Rembrandt with a mouse.

[PivotMasterKS]

Pencil tool? You cheater ;)

[sketchybubblegum]

thanks

[swordbellums]

yeah dude, of course it's possible. it's just a lot slower, and for many people, uncomfortable.

[nick0163]

ur amnazing

[KingStierVIII]

always used a mouse. never had problems with it.

Guess its a preference thing

Good vid btw

[fallensoul45]

thanks luis now i will draw better because of this

[whereisvince]

how do you make sure your pencil tool doesn't cause gaps????????

[Rickypr7]

But having a drawing tablet makes this process much much faster and much much simpler

[SuperGamer87]

@Rickypr7 But drawing with a mouse can come with one advantage, even with owning a tablet--with large brushes. I find that it is sometimes easier to use the mouse for large-scale work than a pen. I have both and use both. Having them both as open options are so great, when you learn to use them for your own purposes.

[shadowsgirl5678]

@Rickypr7 but some people can't BUY tablets like me

[mrconcept]

really impressive. nice one

[BeretClock]

Amazing! This is really easy to follow.

[emop1]

I use a Tablet, not one of the expensive ones though. Got it for 30$ =)

[cyberwurst]

yup, bamboo one is the cheapest. it's from wacom :D

[cyberwurst]

shitting on a toilet and shit. that's a fact, jack!

[diseasedpanda]

Right when it started, without seeing your name, I noticed that was Luis. Lol.Good tutorial man. Luv your work.

[cyberwurst]

hell no luis sucks at animating, but he's good in story telling.

[Wolfears2]

Never, EVER say luis sucks at animating >=O

[cyberwurst]

i've seen artists that are much better than him >:(

[Wolfears2]

Oh, whom? You realise we're talking FLASH here right?

[cyberwurst]

of course! take stamper, mindchamber or the swain for example! D:<

[Wolfears2]

Luis is just as good as stamper or the swain, and Mindchamber's an artist, not an animator.

[KBkingben]

you make good tutorials, but you sound so god damn BORED lol

[LuisNG]

Youre right, although this was probably the first tutorial i ever made.. so its pretty bad

[FlyingRamenForever]

Drawing with a mouse is good but making something professional would most likely require a tablet or something as drawing with a mouse is rather time consuming. You can still get good results with a mouse tho. I get quite a few..I guess.

[lunacyfringe54]

if you mean proffesional by the way most cartoons look on tv

then your rong, not to be mean, sorry,

but it just takes the ability to know what your doing

[Greatdictator]

just a question here do you sketch it out on one lkayer and then make it on another one

[LuisNG]

yeah usually i do that. i used to draw it 'naked' without sketches but it comes out shit.

[Greatdictator]

yeah i know that my friends say that i am learning relly fast and i need to learn how to draw so i saw that you used the pencil to sketch it out and i didnt relly see well how you made the sketch dissapear (the red sketchs)

[ehsanul]

wow, your lines are so straight, and ur using the pencil. when i draw with the mouse, i always have to use the paintbrush with high smoothing to get ok lines (or curves rather, due to the smoothing)

[narutomanman]

I wanna be that good!

[SCiDT85]

Absolutely AWESOME.

Question is the mouse pad really required? I work of my desk, does that effect the optical mouse?

[LuisNG]

depends on the desk, at work yeah i dont use a mousepad, i do recommend it though because i find that mouse pads give the mouse a little bit of 'grip' and it isnt uber sensitive as it may be on a slick table.

[SCiDT85]

Wow thanks for the quick reply! I will get one I do have a very slick table, coming to think of it I have never used a mouse pad! I'll get one and try it. Thanks!

[LuisNG]

get the old school ones made of that spongie rubber/fabric ... theres like some 'gaming' mouse pads out now that are like very fine and are supposed to encourage speed mousing so that probably wouldnt do you much good +its like 50 bucks. lol

[ummidot]

what tool are you using to sketch? dope shit.

[dirtynetson]

funny mouse pad lol and its a good(is it a tutorial?)

[vimota]

woww youre amazingg

[LuisNG]

I have this giant mask that my whole movie fits under.. its not really the most efficient or even necessary method but i like to always be concious of my canvas boundaries and im anal like that.

[shinkosai]

Nice job here, personally I underate those outline sketches way too much for animation, but then again I probably need more practise period! XD

BTW what's with masking the whole movie? Are you doing each shot as it's own movie clip?

[oxygenwaster201]

you should get "ZD soft screen recording software" it's free and it allows you to record what the screen displays

[LuisNG]

yeah i have it actually... but im ghetto and i like doing it this way better.

[boxkitten]

i draw with all mouse animating, though i prefer wacom, you can do about all the stuff that you can do with tablet except for presure sensetivity.

[sparejello]

Awsome man, thanks for proving my point
