Brush Size & Aychbee Arim
something i gave up on in Flash a while ago was using thin, scratchy lines, which is how i actually draw on paper. this was largely because fine lines, when drawn with a wacom at least, are rendered with gaps. it probably has to do with the smoothing… honestly, i haven’t really experimented with it. in Flash 5, there wasn’t an auto smoothing option for brushes, and trying to colour final art that had gaps in it was a pain in the ass. there’s the line tool, of course, but at the time, i didn’t know that double clicking selected the full line so that it could be easily deleted. anyway, i ended up getting used to thicker lines, but never completely liked them. remembering that, i’m trying out thinner lines again, and they’re actually really nice.
i think that looks pretty nice. so maybe there will be a new short this week.
