Description

A simple test to see if painting on an animation I did on Flash would work out. The animation isn't that great and certainly not that inspiring, and unfortunately the frames printed out too tiny for me to get the thing looking that consistent, but otherwise I like it. A few more tests and experiments and I'll be more confident about coloring in this medium.

Steps:
rough animation in Flash
Print out frames, make sure they're surrounded by a box
tape frames to a light table/box, tape a stiffer paper (I used Strathmore drawing paper) on top.
Mark the outside edges of the box before coloring.
Take your paint and have at it!

Marking the outside of the box is important so that when you scan in the images, you know how to line up everything properly. Most scanners don't have animation pegs, after all.


PS. He's one body part short of being Doctor Manhattan, lol!
