Description
When I heard that the new version of Sketchbook Pro would have a "Flipbook" feature that allows artists to make simple animations, I had to upgrade. And here is the first (presentable) result.

Yeah, it's still a bit rough and jittery, but it's far easier to animate in the new Sketchbook Pro 7 than in Photoshop or Manga Studio (although I'll most likely still use those programs to produce the final inked and colored cels).

(One important feature that SBP 7 lacks, that I hope they include in a future update, is the ability to export the animation in GIF. Currently, the only ways to share an animation is in the proprietary .skba format that only another SBP 7 user can play, or as a sequence of PNG files. I used the latter method to bring the individual frames into Photoshop where I combined them into one file and made the animated GIF you see here.)
