![]() Rob - the only parameters that can be adjusted when creating a new brush in the properties window are minimum and maximum line width and smoothness. PS: I created the animation “Sweet Dreams” using Macromedia Flash, also a vector program. I’ll have to revisit it and check out the brushes to see what you are referring to. I have Adobe Illustrator, but I haven’t used it in a long time and never really did use it much. I scanned each image (frame) & assembled them into a QuickTime which I then edited in iMovie. ![]() I created that animation using my Pelikan pen on watercolor paper. You can compare that vector line with my hand-drawn pen line by going to my website and viewing my “Little Green Monkey” animation: It’s simple, but I was pretty much pleased with the line quality. Mine is the second one down called “Monkeybone”. If you’re interested in seeing an animation I whipped up to test out the Mac Version 3 when it first came out using the Wacom to get my loosey-goosey style vector line, go to the Toon Boom Showcase and click on Cartoon Animations. I’m still not entirely at one with the tablet, but I’ve come pretty far. Toon Boom was the first animation software I ever used and it took a lot of practice to get comfortable with the vector line and using the Wacom tablet/stylus. ![]() I guess as the vector drawing tools go, Toon Boom offers a good compromise, but it still has its limitations. When Rob suggests you create your own pen, I will say that it’s one of the reasons I prefer Toon Boom to Flash–I can create a much more personal “pen line” with Toon Boom’s property options.īut, like you, I do wish we could get an actual “graphite” pencil line and a simulation of the kind of line I get with my Pelikan 120, flexible nib fountain pen when I’m drawing on Arches Cold Press watercolor paper.
