I think that whilst Photoshop has all these great filters and effects and stuff, you can still create some interesting things with Flash. I suppose it all depends on what kind of effect you’re after. I find line art impossible with PS, but great with Flash… ![](http://images.deviantart.com/large/indyart/female/Grunge_Girl.gif) I tried recreating this with Photoshop, but failed abysmally… ---

It’s just practice really. But I’ve found Flash really does help. ---

like CorelDraw and FreeHand, and used bitmaps softs to aply some effects finishing. But ever since I came across flash those vector based softs are history for me:) ---

i’ve never been good at line art, might have been not paying any attention in art classes or something like that… oh yeah, one reason i like flash for drawing is doing cartoony type things like my fishy-bot. similarly the cat on [meathook.net](http://meathook.net) which is where some of my stuff will go when i finished actually producing the website… oh yeah, Sonnyz, that stuff is pretty sweet… ---

I dont really dig flash vector tools for some reason. I prefer fireworks and sometimes freehand. Does anyoone ever use the freehand pencil tool? I suck so bad with that tool! They should wipe it off the face of the earth. ---

I suck so bad with that tool! They should wipe it off the face of the earth. \*\* i just cant get used to Freehand OR Illustrators tools. i usually just draw simple things in flash for testing MC codes. but otherwise i import mostly from PS. i cant get used to fw for some reason. i just cant get my finger on it… ---

Flash has excellent drawing tools, but I prefer Illustrator for vector art since I’m a Photoshop freak and I’m hard-wired to the Adobe interface. You all are great artists! Maybe someday I’ll have enough courage to post my stuff C:-)
