Quick Doodle on paint

[Amazeroth]

I need Paint for every of my Animations that i ever make. I haven't enough Place to make a Handdraw and so i use this little Programm. Ok it look not so Professional but everyone know what i mean with this animations

If you use Paint for animations, why not use EasyToon right away? The only difference is that you don't have colors in it... :P

I think her cheek is way exaggerated. I know what touch you're trying to get but it's just way too exaggerated compared to the rest of the face.

Shoulders, neck, hair, breasts and upper arms looks fine. Something about her lower arm and hand there looks wrong. The hand is way too simplistic and a tad small, her lower arm is quite short too.

Btw, is that her bellybutton below her boobs? If so her bellybutton looks like it's placed almost at the side of her stomach, not in the middle. :P



I hope I didn't totally bash your work with my rambling. The picture got an overall comical feeling but could need some more work.

Nah, I had the same conclusion when I studied my pic for a while. Again this is only my first trial and hope I can get the proportions of the body correct. The real problem on my mind is drawing hands..I also have the same problem when I tried on some paper. I definately need to look up more on the eyes and hands some more since I discovered its my number one weakness when drawing people. Animations I'll look up after I managed to get something really decent and some color. Thanks for your honestly Denny! Appreciate it a lot. ^^

Don't get sad because of hands... It's a pain for every artist, more or less.....

My Anims are B/W the most time. If a Fan wish colored Version he/she can tell me the wish and i create a special version for him/her.

Paint isn't that bad, it just takes a long time and attention payed to detail. Every non-animation work of mine was done on it, including my avatars.

It's generally a good idea to use a 2-pixel thick outline, since it allows for more leniency and less 'scratchiness'. The apparent smoothness is better.

Oh, and God bless the curved line tool. And tha paint bucket tool. And, to a lesser extent, text boxes.

How do you use paint to make an animation, anyway? If I could do that, I would; the program is infinitely better than easytoon.

Let me smite thee for insulting my beloved program EasyToon. >

Nah, jokes aside. If you wanna make animations with Paint, make an image, save, the same over and over again until you have a sequence of images saved. Now use your favorite animation software to put it all together.

Tada, an animation.

Animation software? Phooey. I don't have any. Oh well...

Simple, just go there and download the freeware. Primitive but it's free and works.

Thank you very much.
