Logstics of Drawing

Digital drawing of the frames for the animatic would certainly be great, making the visuals really pop-out. Additionally, these digital drawings could be colour-filled and save time with colouring frames being easier; the colouring of images would certainly make the video more engaging and better distinguish characters from one another. In fact, I have the correct software to draw up these illustrations and colour them - either using Photoshop, Flash or Illustrator.

With this in mind, I do have to acknowledge the time constraints I am presented with. I do not have a drawing tablet and so drawing by mouse would take much longer (as it is difficult). One method of overcoming such an issue might be to draw all of the frames by hand and scan them digitally - or photograph them. Essentially this would allow for faster drawing of certain cells but the scanning requires the use of the school library, something that might be an issue due to the times it is open not necessarily coinciding with my frees; scanning in bulk might be a better option although if need be I will just photograph the illustrations and upload them digitally (despite the lowered quality of this method).
An issue this would present is that I cannot digitally colour these frames, it would require me to draw over and trace the frames digitally. This would certainly be easier given the issue of drawing with a mouse, as I would be given a guideline to follow in each frame. The issue here would again be the time constraints. However, by uploading hand-drawn illustrations, I can at least provide a provisional final product - improving with the digital tracing if I have time.
