Painter has a recording feature, which will record the whole illustration session and you can export it out as a high resolution QuickTime. Not sure how that would help with the hand/arm movement, but it would help with the strokes and lines.. ///Greg Balint //Art Director / Motion Graphics Designer /321.514.4839 delRAZOR.com/ On 5/11/2012 8:34 PM, Steve Oakley wrote: > ok, if you really want to do it the harder way, predraw everything, then have the hand model fake draw everything, and wipe it back in with lost of masks. painful but another approach.
