i wonder if he/she took a picture then converted it to vectors, or completely drew by him/herself. ---

Your drawings look good at any size and they weight much less than raster images. I mainly start with a huge idea that I sketch on paper. Then I acquire it with my scanner and I begin tracing out the main outlines of the figure using only and exclusively Macromedia Flash. After doind that, I start using the linear and radial gradients of Flash to give a first idea of 3dimensionality, that I complete adding more details with different shades and particulars like hair, eyelashes, eyebrows etc. The final result is formed by a number of layers which changes according to the complexity of the illustration. ---

thats really sweet - i think its both a mixture of illustrator/freehand drawing and flash trace bitmap - if you look at some of the detail it some of the areas of high detail look just like the shapes formed when you trace a bitmap in flash… however - it look daaaaaaammn good - and sexy too! Ⓜ ---

i’m pretty new at flash, but i’m familiar with illustrator and the gradient mesh too. however, i’m having a bit of difficulty figuring out if there’s a similar tool in flash… looking at juni’s work i’m assuming there must be… does anybody have any idea how to create a gradient mesh type look in flash? ---

It’s all Illustrator… Gradient meshes (as mentioned), that kind of thing. Very good. 🙂 ---

it’s actually all flash, which is why it’s so amazing. \*"I mainly start with a huge idea that I sketch on paper.
