By Celsys: IllustStudio-The Japanese Photoshop, or the closest you'll ever get. Thank to both of you, I am starting to see the light. I've got some clip stuff and started to get how each brush type works and what I could get of those. Here are some of my thought - pattern brush is really cool. It's a bit sad it doesn't include bleed or watercolor effect but the fact it works with multiple pattern and gives you controle on how they're dealed with is seriously good. Only TVPaint had this feature, I think. - Watercolor brush is ok. - Brush pen is hugely disappointing to me. All in all I still think that while it's better than photoshop brush wise (but what isn't ?) OTOH you gain - multiple pattern brushes- support for 6D brush so at least there's a way to have a working flat brush (SAI doesn't, big flaw).- that's all ! None of this is too bad as I think everything I need can be done efficiently. Brush apart, it's better than SAI on everything (well nearly, selection pen is missed, ok...).

Lip Sync | Tutorial Lip Sync Tutorial by AB / AvidLebon My first experience with Lip Syncing in cartoon and animation is from watching a Disney production. I think the example was Snow White, where the cartoonist looked in the mirror to remember what his mouth looked like on each syllable of Dopey's lines. Image by comet-cartoons The technique is simpler once you can reference the chart or memorize the mouth positions on different syllables. Unless your drawings are still comics rather than an animation, naturally tweening between the expressions becomes your next challenge. AvidLebon who animated all lipsyncing in her Rapture animation has provided a sample FLA file with instructions below on how to make great use of it if you are serious about animating like a professional. Lipsynching Tutorial by AvidLebon First have the soundboard open in one window, and a new document open in the other. ABSsoundboard.fla In "song" make a slash on the stage with the paintbrush. Go to the document "Sound board." Repeat.

Beginner’s music composing tips Beginner’s music composing tips: Consonance The first thing you should learn before writing music is what notes sound good together. The harmonious blending of notes is called consonance (the opposite being dissonance). You can get a feel for this by trial and error, but we’re going to take a shortcut in this article. Here is a guide showing which notes sound good with C on a piano (notes in green sound good with C, yellow fair to bad, and red is really bad): (*please note that there are more levels of consonance than what is shown here, this is just a rough guide). One thing you should notice is that most of the white keys on the piano match ‘C’, which is also a white key. You should also notice that the consonance pattern repeats every 12 notes, or every octave. It gets much more complicated than what is shown in the note guide up above. Notice that the ‘good’ notes are still the same number of keys up or down from the base note as in the original. Or this tune:
