Getting Started: My Flash Practices
October 5th 2006 10:12
Drawing in Flash is quite different compared to other drawing programs. In Flash you manipulate an object to the desired shape you want. It is actually easier for me because I am only using a mouse. Flash is also capable of doing animations. Studying simple movements help me appreciate the creativity, patience, care and effort devoted by real animators in their work.
Studying all by my lonesome has some drawbacks. For one, I sometimes come to a wrong conclusion in understanding a particular concept. Also, techniques to make drawings and animations simpler and easier are learned the hard way. But through trial and error and a little bit of patience you can have a general idea of how everything fits together.
Here are a couple of early practice Flash drawings and animations I made experimenting with shapes and movements.
