Hi Guys
Just wondering if everyone has the same problem as me, When I am drawing on paper my designs seem a lot nicer and smoother. When I draw in toonboom and sometimes flash my lines especially on long strokes are not smooth. I don't have the steadiest hand but could it be my old cheap bamboo or do I just suck?
For me it is the opposite, I can not draw very well on paper anymore.
Haha, so eventually paper will be like writing on a chalk tablet as you progress to digital.

PS has anyone read any decent books on animating in flash etc? and did it help?
Both come with practice, If I drew more on paper I could probabally get back to being good at it. I just prefer digital.

The only book that really helps is the animators survival kit by richard williams.
When I was only starting to use a tablet I found it hard to draw with it, but now after 1.5 years I draw same both on paper and digital, and I regularly practice drawing on both paper and digital.
Same can be applied to musical instruments and MIDI-keyboards, I think.
Of course there are always small nitpicks with both ways. For example, almost no one can draw with brush tool properly, and digital has layers, undo and stuff, while paper can be rotated in any direction and your hand-eye coordination is completely unhindered, providing greater control of your lines.
