i’ve seen people doing more keyframe animation these days… i was wondering whats the best way… do they use graphic pens right in flash and draw each frame? or on paper and they trace them in?

I tried using a graphic pen…each frames lines would look kind of differen because of the smoothing. kind of didnt work.
