Attention digital illustrators and participants in the Rotoball project! Bob Flynn has a great explanation of how to 'ink' using Adobe Flash (I still have a hard time writing 'Adobe' Flash, it just doesn't seem right- like trying to say "Honda SUV" - you know it exists, but it shouldn't). This is a great explanation of how to get the most out of the brush tool, especially if you have a wacom tablet- and I've never really thought of using Flash for still work before. When it comes down to it, its a much easier and intuitive vector program to use than illustrator (or the pen tool in Photoshop). Note that there are some good tips for those of us who use it for creating motion graphics as well.
