Description
You guys kept asking for it, so here it is!Though maybe not what you were asking for.
Anyhow, I was drawing Maiden Flash and was going to make a video recording of the whole process with commentaries and stuff. But then it was too slow, and I gave up on it and instead shot the screen like 50 times during production - maybe for the better, since it took all day. AND I missed submitting it on Leap Day by like 3 hours. So tiiired....
Sorry if it's super rushed and vague and confusing - that's kind of how everything is on the internet.
Made in not-Flash
Flash © Adobe
EDIT: Oh yeah, super important - I use the paint brush tool, not the pencil/pen to draw. It's set at 50 smoothing, and I use the second smallest brush size for the line art. Plus, I'm using a tablet that allows me to control the stroke width using pressure sensitivity (you have to turn it on from the bottom of the tool bar).

Your official fangirl, ijou-chan, is now sorta well-informed on how you made one of your pictures and will most likely shout random quotes from this piece at her friends at random times.
Love~

Wow... Now that I have some insight to the program, it seems that Flash is so much better than Photoshop.

I use photoshop CS3, but I think this will prove useful since I suck at coloring...

This tut was awesome! I love to use flash for my art aswell (I use the mouse though) Check out my stuff!

One question xD why are there loads of keyframes instead of one to each layer? thanks great tutorial helps loads
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Each frame is a different picture. I'd rather have my artwork in one file than spread throughout all my projects.

Hm, I can't say I've ever seen that happen before. Does it happen no matter what size or color mode you use?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Color mode? Hmm... I'm not sure how to change it...

I have a question...
Is there anyway to switch between groups like you can between layers? I got annoyed because I just tried that and it seemed to fuse the groups together rather than switch... and now I can't get them split up again =/
If not I guess I learned from my mistake or something... learned to use layers instead that is...
I'm sure this is a n00b-ish question and all but I'm not used to work with Flash...

Split them up with ctrl+shift+g.
Move out of a group by double clicking off of it.
Move into a group by double clicking it.

Don't mind my question... when I sat down later, and wasn't as tired, I played around a bit and figured it out
My new experiences of Flash might make it my main program for artsy stuff

THANK YOU!!!!

You're a LIAR!!!!
You did SO teach me something useful! I really didn't think you could create such beatiful work in Flash ._. all people ever talk about is photoshop (The majority of my work is flash, but it's very cartoony XD )

Wow, I love your tutorial!
^^ Very helpful!!
I know that may sound weird...
but can you explain me the coloring part..
I mean, the thing with gaps...
I didn't make it turn like blue background and white in the drawing to start coloring...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nah, you don't need that. That's just what I did as an aid.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahm...that's weird...
So why I cannot use the fill tool?
It's like, I click where I want to color...but nothing happen ...
I thought it was the gaps...
