Say There is a close up on my stick figures face but shows some of his body. What tool or method can i use to easily draw the body. The point is to at some point add a Cinematic feel in my future works I plan on doing. And any tips on to also how to draw figures as well.
Thanks!

I usually use line tool for my cinematic and angles. You can use brush if you want to freely draw the shape of your stick, it's a lot faster than drawing with line but line is smoother. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages. You should study all of the tools and features of flash for all of them can make your animations better.

Ok thanks, I had a thought about the Line tool but the next question is what size should I use, or if I should draw the characters small and close up with V-cam but that would kill the view of the environment (if its like a natural setting)

..it's a stick figure. The body is literally just a line. You're overthinking things.

You're asking us questions that only you can answer. Do what works for your animation. There are plenty of different tools, methods and techniques, but figuring out what works for YOU is something you need to figure out on your own.

It really just comes down to what you feel more comfortable with in regards to what you'd like to use. Experiment with the line tool as well as brush. SOME use the pencil tool but I wouldn't recommend it.

I do have tendencies to overthink things...alot. But in this is cause since school and work been slacking on animating when I really want to get better.
