Using the Pen Tool for Detailed Art

Wednesday June 11, 2008
Did you know that you can create complex, detailed artwork in Flash? Now granted, Flash doesn't have all of the detailed shading options that you might find in graphics programs like Photoshop and Painter, but you can still create line art as detailed as you might draw by hand, complete with line weight. And while the color options won't make for a high work of art (unless you're extremely patient), there's still enough variety there that you can create something pretty nifty - as long as you know how to use the pen tool.
