Week 24 Animation - Debt Unpaid - work in progress

This week I realized drawing backgrounds on paper and scanning them in in Photoshop is a much better option the trying to draw them in Flash. I'm actually pretty happy with how this shot turned out.

I even have a post-it on my computer that says "Keep It Simple!".
