Well it mostly just depends on how steady your hand is Raymond, you can also change the settings of how smooth it is
Don't worry, you'll get used to it eventually bro

Or use the line tool if you're impatient lmfao

If I'm using my tablet I don't have a problem with the brush tool, but when using the mouse I stick with the line tool since it's similar to what I would do in easytoon. I just hate the way the magnet tool makes the newly created line cling to just about everything. And when I turn it off, it's hard to line up each line segment, sometimes it's off and I have to ctrl + z over and over again till I get it in the right position.

Also I will try out the pen tool DCC. :)

Just don't worry about it as much, everything doesn't always have to connect up perfectly. Tip though if you start drawing your next line from roughly the same point as the end of the last one it should connect by itself. It has to be kinda spot om though, wgen I say roughly I mean there's room for error but It's not much

What do you guys think of this so far?

I've been doodling in flash with my mouse, and i have an eye right now. I'm going to see where this goes.

I'm loving your style more, and more Gary.
The animation reminds me of that animation of this other animation where one guy beats up a dozens of others, can't remember the name though...
Keep animating Gary! Hopefully you'll make something long and beautiful. :D

I opened flash today, did a run loop http://i.imgur.com/wnikJNF.gif

Better than anything I've done so far. :D

5 minutes of goofing off, and i kinda want to finish this one.
I hate my mouse.

Couple of frames there when the eye's closing should have been moved to the right, but as you said, mouse.

Is the iris supposed to change like that or is that part of the work in progress?

I got reeeeeaaallly tired, and i was like "Let's make a city in the eye" But this project is only in a draft right now. It will be fleshed out a bit soon hopefully.

I like the dark anime-esque eye a lot better than the iris, since you drew the iris really sloppily.

I should probably take my time a bit more, and get something better than a $10 mouse.
And maybe use a reference. I'm actually not a trash artist, i swear!


edit:

Tried to make it again, this is what happened.

That looks really nice Anthony! I like flash so far, but I can't seem to get used to it. I'm having trouble keeping the proportions the same. It's a lot more convenient though. With the timeline you can just drag frames around and line up a set up movements much easier.

Does anyone know how to put sound in flash, like a whole dialog, then when you press [Enter] to play it, the sound doesnt keep continuing to play even though the animation ended?
