Greetings from Switzerland !

Hi everybody, I'm new in this forum and also a newbie in digital art. I discovered lately Flash and did some drawings with it. I don't know Photoshop very well but I have been impressed to see what youguys do with it.

This has been 100% mouse-drawn in Flash.

Really nice.

WasteYouth Not there anymore... anyone know if it has another link and what it is?
EyeBall Design this one's pretty good with nav bars... but has links to some other good sites.
phong
OZONE This is the first Site I found and It's still a good one...
Deaddreamer Only has a few, but I've used them and has some really nice pictures.
Emma This is a good Adobe Illustrator tutorial for drawing faces that look like Aeon Flux

Hope these help. If you find a site you like always check out their links cause most awsome tutorial sites have links to other really cool sites... how you think I found this one?

HI -

First of all, I am very impressed with what you did in Flash - it looks awesome!

The primary difference between Photoshop and Flash is rastar versus vector, respectively. Flash is a vector based (but not specific to) application that is really intended for creating highly functional, interactive web sites, multimedia or self running presentations, and it's animation capabilities further embellish the outcome. Flash's vector output allows for smaller file/project size; that is why is very popular on the web - it helps streamline data transfer.

Photoshop is better suited for outputting bitmaps. Illustrators, specifically those with traditonal media backgrounds, find Photoshop a better application, because it allows for more painterly, illustrative effects and custom brushes. Photoshop is considered an industry standard for any digital, graphics professional.

I am not saying one is btter than the other but rather that each one has a specific strength. I personally use both. -t

Neat stuff... why aren't you posting these in the gallery?

Any chance of seeing a larger version of the last two?

woah those are pretty awesome. everything i've seen from flash up to this point has been minimalistic(including my own), but your illustrations are complex and realistic. i want to see more.
