Even though Toon Boom is both, I believe most of this stuff is done in vector format for that reason. It's far more like Illustrator than Photoshop in term of shape construction. I think Family Guy is done in a program called Toon Boom, which I think also is the same thing that is used for shows like Rick and Morty and Adventure Time. It amazes me when I watch these shows how everything is so clean. I know these are very basic skills to have, which I do not know how to do. At the moment I'm just trying to use a brush which is pressure sensitive, and as you can imagine, does not get the same results! How is the coloring done? For example, looking at his sleeve, the darker shadow color has a perfect curve, and does not touch the lines. How are the lines drawn so straight and smooth? Do animators actually use a ruler? (I assume cartoons are usually done digitally nowadays, but in either case!) To follow up, if the line cannot be completed in one stroke, how is it managed that you never see any "joining points" where two lines meet? And finally- how are things like circles drawn, such as their eyes? By practicing one can draw near-perfect circles - but not perfectly, every time. When I see cartoons, I always wonder how the lines are kept so clean, so straight/smooth, and how the coloring is done so precisely. I am trying to improve my skills, and am finally asking a question I've been wondering for a long time.
