Drawing in Illustrator

To give my animation a bit more visual flare I am going to draw the objects I need in illustrator, apply brush strokes to them and import them into flash as you cannot do that in flash alone. I open up Illustrator and draw out the basic lines for my assets (in this case a desk) using the line tool. Then, using the brushes pallet I apply a nice brush to make it look more artistic.


Here is the desk with the default stroke:











Here is the desk with the new stroke:











I then drew out the room and a window. I also drew a TV, but I did not use strokes for this. I wanted the TV too look realistic enough because the character will be entering the TV and the TV will frame the scene so it will be less distracting the more plain it looks.















Next I need to import this in to flash.
