Hi All,
I’m a cartoonist that would like to make the jump to animation. I have done a search and know there is a ton of tut’s out there for Flash but was wondering if someone could give me a good starting point.

Here’s where I am…
• I work on a Mac

• I know Photoshop and Illustrator pretty well (although I just upgraded to CS4 from CS, so I’m a little behind)

• Have never worked in animation or Flash.

• Have a Wacom

• For cartooning work-flow, I typically sketch on paper, scan then ink and color in PS.

So that’s where I’m at, what would be a good course of action to get me on my way to bring my characters into the world of animation.
Thanks!!
