you didnt do these, you kno how i kno? Because these were done in Adobe illustrator and seen them on a site somewhere. Flash doesnt make cartoons, it makes flash animations. You cant draw in flash. Im a graphic designer and kno adobe programs
Think what you want. I did these, on my own, in Flash. You have to draw what gets animated in Flash, so saying you can't draw in Flash is silly.
No, dude's got a point. I myself am a graphic designer too. Flash is HORRIBLE to draw in, absolutely horrible. It either takes a lot of time to achieve such detailed pics in Flash, or a lot of talent to cope with the messed up pentool in Flash. Only good and decent way to make these pics would be in Adobe Illustrator.
Not saying you didn't make these, but he has a point there. Also, you do not have to draw in Flash to animate in Flash. I myself never draw in Flash, always use Illustrator and then import the .ai files into Flash, works a lot better and easier.
I must say tho, a couple of these pics look very traced. Nothing wrong with tracing, but try to avoid it. Self-drawn lines are far better. I mean the pics look good, but try to improve your skill with the pentools, cuz some lines are very very curvy.
But again, you don't hear me saying these are bad pics or pics you've stolen. Just wanted to prove some point in the other dude's post and give you some advice to get better at this stuff. ;)
Edit:
I see a lot of guys talking about Photoshop.
Let me say this: Photoshop is made for editing photographs (hence: PHOTOshop), these pics are all obviously vector. Now you could work in vectors in Photoshop, but since Photoshop is a pixelbased program, the result is not good. Making vectors in Photoshop is just like trying to do a drag race in an old VW Van. Its not made for that, sure you can throw in some effects and all (basically what everybody does making Photoshop so n00b-friendly, and leaving everybody with the impression "OMG I can be teh desinerz").
Photoshop is for photo editing, Illustrator is for making vector images. Flash is also vector-based, but sucks with drawing. Thats why you make drawings in Illustrator and import them into Flash to animate them.
Thats how it is, thats how you should use the programs...
