How To Draw A Girl In Flash…
Posted on Dec 31, 2005 in How to Draw, Video Tutorials
I get quite a few emails from people wanting to know what software I use to create my illustrations… most are surprised when I tell them I produce about 95% of my work directly in Flash. Below is a video demo of how I generally create my finished illustration. I start of with a scanned pencil sketch and trace over it in Flash using primarily the “line” and “selection” tools, along with the occasional pencil stroke. Enjoy!

Interesting to see. I also use Flash sometimes, but do you use extra layers to draw over your sketch? When I draw directly in Flash in an imported image, the lines vanish…I’m not a
real Flash expert…but I wondered how you could draw In the sketch itself.Bye!

Thanks for sharing! I’m finding a lot of illustrators use Flash lately. I’m interested to know why you chose Flash over other vector illustration programs. I love animating in Flash, but have always had difficulty drawing in it. Is it because it just what you know best? You are very talented…

Great! Thanks for this video tutorial Brad. As one who uses Photoshop and Painter mostly it’s fun to see what other tools are available out there.

Wow!! That is truly amazing. I sat here inches from my monitor watching the whole thing. I’m ok in photoshop, but still inept with illustration and have only played around in flash.
Basically, I’m speechless. It was wonderful to see it, thanks for all the effort!! I’m still shaking my head going “wow”.

I really enjoyed the demo! It is very cool. To say the truth, i really don’t know there is such way of drawing over sketches! Can you teach me as i’m interested in learning to draw cartoon characters.
