CartoonSmart Classics - The Cartoonist Collection The year: sometime in the 2000's. The Mac OS is "bubblier", Adobe Flash had just gotten this new feature called Filters, and CartoonSmart's owner and lead instructor sounds a few years younger. But if we're brave enough to post these oldies but goodies, you can find the courage to watch them. The craziest thing about these past greats: the illustration techniques taught back then still hold up today. Yes, Adobe Flash really hasn't changed much! Vector illustration in Flash is pretty much as its always been. Simply, straight-forward and an excellent tool for cartoonists!Created by: Justin😍 0   👍 2   😐 0 |
