My usual steps in drawing cartoons - (YouTube video)

Oh my, oh my...
1. Your voice is very soothing. If you ever get tired of drawing (yeah right) I suggest you become a psychiatrist or psychologist.
2. That video was excellent! You covered so many facets in such a little bit of time. Thank you for that education.

Is that good? I didn't put you to sleep did I?

Really terrific video, Bob! I learned a lot! It was ineresting how you did the color on the same layer as the line drawing. I usually put color on a separate layer and if there are elements that need to go behind or in front I move it to the appropriate layer. Also, instead of hitting Escape to finish a line before starting a new line, I usually tap my stylus someplace where there isn't anything.

I will be anxiously awaiting your next installments! Thanks so much for sharing. By the way, how do you do make the video?

Thanks, Zeb. I used Windows Media Encoder to make the video. In their wizard set-up, I selected the "Capture screen" option and a "specific window" (xtreme) What I did though is I left my screen resolution at 1280x1024 and just resized the Xtreme program to a 800x600 area. I did that by putting an 800x600 shape on my desktop wallpaper and resized Xtreme to fit.
