Cat Animation 101 - part 4

What’s the quickest way to draw something so that it looks good enough? Using the tecnique you are more familiar with. Period.

I’m a programmer as you know if you have read my past posts, and the pen tool has been a mistery to me for years XD. I started to use it last year and even if I’m more confident now, I’m deadly slow compared to freehand drawing. Plus the results are actually pretty close.

If you have time of course vector tracing is the best choice, the result is flawless, but if you, like me, are not so expert in moving, adding and deleting points quickly, just go for a freehand tool, like a basic brush.

Choosing a thicker brush also helps a lot to get slicker looking lines.

For Zoltan‘s cats I used a 5 pixel hard round brush with no dynamic al 100% opacity .
