Fancy Comic Book Inking Easy To Do For Animation Now

I always admired the way guys like Shane Glines, Bruce Timm, Joe Sinnot and the Harvey Comics inkers could wield a brush. I never had the dexterity to use a real brush with ink myself.

But once I got a Cintiq and started inking on the computer I found programs that allowed me to do the thick and thin styles I like so much in Comic books - and without the mess.

I started first with Illustrator -which was a bear to learn. Now I'm finally used to drawing in Photoshop - I can do the kind of lines I like, but can't use the paint bucket to fill flat colors because to get the smooth lines, PS antialiases the edges which buggers everything up. - We used to do Thick and Thin in Flash but that was a monstrous process - expensive, tedious and time consuming.

But in Toonboom's programs, it's really easy to do good lines (even for a non-dexterous person like myself).

We made a demo to show how easy it is to ink on the computer in "Animate".

Kickstarter- Help Me Make a Cartoon

Hey fans and fellow animators. I know you've always wanted to be your own TV executives. Now's your chance to "Green Light" a cartoon personally - without having to wait years for the mystifying network process to water down all the things you demand in your cartoon entertainment!
I have been wanting to try out this Kickstarter thing for awhile now and finally bit the bullet. I think it's the greatest idea ever (Kickstarter that is). If it works maybe we can create a totally new and streamlined way to bring entertaining to the audience without going through all the middlemen and bureaucracy of giant corporate monopolies.
This is our chance to help bring on the future. The fans can now be the actual producers!
So whattaya say?

Produce "CANS WITHOUT LABELS" with me and win fabulous prizes while you are at it!Check it all out here:
