Temporary Halt

So at this point I'm putting a temporary halt to scanning more scenes, as they may need to be re-scanned at greyscale rather than black & white. I'm also toying with the idea of possibly shading in each drawing with colored pencil, for a totally different look altogether. Since the story is being read from a childrens' book, it might be cool if the whole thing looked more hand-crafted. I'm going to do an experiment with both methods (digital ink-paint vs. colored pencil) and see which one looks best.

Not quite as sketchy as this...

...but something close to it.

BE CAREFUL everyone to not click on the link posted above by the user "ditaur" . It's a supposedly "anti-virus" program for Windows XP , but it smelled like it was trying to install a virus (I'm on a Mac , so the little .exe file it tried to install didn't work , but if you're on a PC it may get you )

Ken,

You could load your scanned animation drawings into TVP Animation and color them in TVP to get that hand-colored Prismacolor pencil look with the customized brushes you can make in TVP.

What were you using previously to scan ... Animo ?
Yes?

What was the problem ? (I have a little experience with Animo , so I might have some light to shed)

Or did you just decide you wanted a different look to the piece so you're going to go with colored pencils like the Plympton example you showed ?
