Today I experimented with using Toon Boom since we finally have the software in the labs. To test out the software, I used a screengrab from the film The Princess and the Frog (2009) to trace the image.
I used this image because it's quite similar to the flat design style that I'd like to use in my own project. Although since it is a high budget Disney film, the movement was very dynamic, so it was hard to find something I could replicate simply to animate.
Overall the Toon Boom software was quite simple to use, very similar to Adobe Illustrator, it just took some time to figure out where each of the tools were. I like that it's very easy to select new colours and use this to draw out new lines, especially for flat design it makes this process quite simple.
On some instances I wasn't able to fill in certain shapes, for example on the girl's leg. I might need to watch a few more tutorials to figure out why this happened.
