The new domain www.marsden.fr is now active. It’s shorter, it’s easier to remember and it doesn’t have the word cartoons in it, as the majority of things I do are not cartoons. So for illustrations, vector art, flash animation, logo design and web design, marsden.fr is a new address to remember.

La nouvelle domaine www.marsden.fr est maintenant activé. C’est bref et facile a se souvenir. Pour dessins, illustrations, un bon illustrateur dans votre coin, des vectoriels, et un tres bon flasheur et animateur de flash il faut que visiter: http://www.marsden.fr

Die neue Domäne http://www.marsden.fr ist nun aktiv. Sie ist kürzer, einfacher zu merken und vorallem enthält sie nicht das Wort Cartoons, da ich ja nicht ‘nur’ cartoons mache. Für Illustrationen, Flash Animationen, Web und Logo Design, Vektor Grafiken, Charakter und Maskottchen Design ist www.marsden.fr nun die Adresse für Sie.

It only took me around two years, give or take, but hey – better late than never, right.

:)

In any event if you click on the FLASH tab on the main Marsdencartoons.com website it now takes you to a pull-down menu from where you can select from seven different categories: Corporate, Interactive, Animation, Games, Banners, E-Cards and YouTube/Tutorials. These are all pretty self-explanatory. Each menu selection will open the example in a new window.

FLASH by Ian Marsden

I hope you enjoy some of the pieces and possibly think of me or recommend me to your friends if you or they should require high-quality professional Flash elements for their sites, multimedia, advertising, presentations, e-mail campaigns or are generally looking to create the new viral advertising madness of the future.

“Cheers Old Friend!”

Here is another video of me drawing a quick sketch and coloring it in Autodesk SketchBook Pro software. I am using a Wacom Cintiq digital tablet screen on this one.
A wonderful tool which I can wholeheartedly recommend to any professional illustrator, graphic designer or cartoonist.

I made occasional cuts to stay within the 10 minute length limit imposed by YouTube so the drawing jumps along miraculously a few times, but I hope the steps I took are still clear.

As always I am posting the finished drawing below. I hope you enjoy the video.

Digital Cartoon drawing created in SketchBook Pro. Watch a video on YouTube of the actual drawing being created in realtime.
