Flash Workshop Lesson One

So our Maya tutorials are over! Yay! Now we are having Flash tutorials instead which in my opinion are much more fun and easier to understand. Even though we were only learning the basics i learnt some stuff i didn't know before about the gradient tool, line effects and colour. We were asked to draw a flower, colour it, and then have a play around with line effects and gradient. I liked the look of the stippled line, even if it does look like a five year old did it in MS Paint.

Next we were taught about simple shading techniques and how to join lines up that didn't quite meet, as simple as this sounds it was very useful as in the past I've just deleted an odd line instead of fixing it. Again we messed around with the gradient tool (even though you can't really see it in the picture) and easily shaded our second flower. I'm looking forward to the next Flash lesson where we will actually be animating an object.
