BPM: Behind the Scenes

Here's a couple little videos I put together showing how I do the Big Pants Mouse comic strips every week:




Here's the rough:

and here's the final product.

Thanks for watching!

Awesome, I actually like the rough much better than the finished strip, I love the non-flash linework.

So Flash is the big secret. Interesting. Great video, Gabe! Thanks!

Huh. I never would have guessed you used stock; it looks way too lively for that! Being willing and able to ink a unique pose helps a lot, of course.

What's the music?

Also, 1:20 in the second video: FURRY!!!

wow man this is fantastic! i've always liked inking in flash i've been a bit at odds with it lately, but i noticed that you use the rectangle brushes for different lineweights and stuff? i only JUST started experimenting with that and it's really cool!

i get really irritated cleaning up animation with the pencil tool but the brush is great!

what are the "drawing" settings in your preferences if you don't mind? i can never figure out how to keep my lines from smoothing out too much!

Awesomeness! Now all you need to do, is use more brushes besides that lame-o PS drybrush.

You use one of the chiseled tips when inking in flash, right? I might have missed that part.

Hey Gabe! Congrats for your awesome work!
Correct me if I'm mistaken, but are you using Photoshop CS3 and Snow Leopard, correct? If so, did you find any compatibility issues?
Thanks!
