Anime-Type Drawing (Suggestions?)

Ratmaster · 06-19-2009, 05:40 PM

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew any type of software I could use to outline and color images that resemble anime characters? (in that style)

I am making an online comic and I am looking for a software that I could use to manually adequately outline and color characters that are drawn anime-like. I don't think PhotoShop is necessary for this.

I am trying to make a frame-by-frame approximately one and a half minute long video for the comic. I just don't like using GIMP or Paint.NET to outline and color them. It makes the characters look like they have too much of an outline and it is hard to do.

Here is an example of what I am trying to do:
YouTube - Smash Eater - ã€SSBB Ã— Soul Eaterã€‘

^ This is definitely not mine, but I want to make something in the same style, as the coloring and the frame rate.

Does anyone know what program I can use to color like that?

I want to try and use a graphic editing software instead of a 700$ animation program, as I believe I can do this animation by coloring each frame by itself. Do you know of any software I can adequately color with to make it look like anime?

Use Coreldraw. That is the perfect software for the purpose.

Swishmax is another good program!and it's cheaper than macromedia flash!
