Hey there!! I'm relatively new to animating in flash and have kind of got 2D animating down, and wanna give angles a try, and for close-ups it'd be nice to add some facial features... And I suck at drawing them. So... I dunno, if anyone can draw some, give me some pointers on how to or give me a link to someone who already has a pack or something, that'd be great! Not sure if this is the right place, should it be in the Help section? :) Thanks for the help

I don't think there's a sprite pack or something about faces. It is supossed that you draw them with your own style, even if it "sucks". How do you want to learn if you only have sprites?. Everyone here sucked at making faces when we started (especially me >_>). I wasn't able to draw a single (decent) eye when I first tried angles; but now I can tell that I learned to draw some nice faces, because I practiced till I got the concept. And I developed my own style of making faces; you should do the same, watch some series and try to draw some face that you like, have patience, practice, maybe waych some tutorials on youtube and done.

Well If you were't looking for some real looking eyes you can make them just a Black Dot, That's very simple and easy to do angles on it Anyway I'll See if I Can do some maybe !

If you don't have a tablet, you could try using line tool for the features, the mouth can just be a line and the eyes could be composed of a circle and a curved line and another curved line for the brow.

Yeah, what Nanite said, use the the line tool for eye brows and mouths.Then you can use the circle tool for open mouths and eyes.

Thats a pretty nice idea. Beginners without tablets should use that. Thats What I normally use , though i barely use facials. Anyways i hope that helped you. :3
