Diving Back Into Crazy Talk Animator 2 Character Creation (Part 2)
JAC Once again it's been a while since I posted to this blog because... well... life happens and it's been tough to get back on track and into creation mode. Fortunately I haven't been totally non-productive and this post is to get you up to speed on where my CTA2 G2, JAC character is at, that I began documenting in part 1 of this series of posts. Last time I'd drawn my seven final character view sketches ready for importing into DrawPlus for 'inking' and coloring. Maybe it's my lack of knowledge with how to use DrawPlus properly, but I just don't find that software any good for free hand drawing vector lines - which is the look I want for my animated characters. Manga Studio however is superb for 'inking' in my vector lines but unfortunately can't export images in a vector format. So I had to look for some kind of compromise. I knew DrawPlus has a trace feature for turning bitmap drawings into vector art so I decided to explore that option.
