Since you're looking for some real art instruction here's a couple of links to learn everything you need to learn about how to draw. Andrew Loomis was a great illustrator but, not very well known outside of artist circles. You can download these out of print books for free and learn from an artist who has influenced millions of artists even to this day. http://www.artcone.com/forums/andrew_loomis_books_downloads-t1772.html And, another not very well known artist who has really helped me learn somethings and I'm still learning from him. Here's the link to the Charles Bernard Arttrek videos. http://www.onlineartacademy.com/ I hope these help you. Hello Jonathon.

I thiiink Macs view .jar files, don't they? If not, surely someone has developed an emulator to read them... ANYHOW, to those who are wanting animation, Animanatee is a GREAT program! LINK > http://deku.gbadev.org/program.html It's simple like COLORS, and has an onion skinning capability, plus exports to .avi. I admit, my drawing skills, er, suck. I've been better at photography, and apps like Poser, Bryce, etc. I've been looking for tutorials on the 'Net for exercises on sharpening what few artistic talents I do have, heh. Anyone know of any?

I take the .avi file into Quicktime Pro or Adobe After Effects to change it to .mov file which is a much better format. Since Quicktime is the native video codec for Macs all you really need is Quicktime Pro. The file size will be considerably smaller. If you don't have Quicktime Pro it's only $30.00 US. In After Effects you'll need to know the dimensions of the screen and the exact length of the video all the way down to the last frame. I hope that helps.

I would like to do this in order to get an .avi file to use for a website. Is anyone familiar with this process?

DS. Yes, I did what you said to do about recopying the software to my SD card again. It works great. I love this program. If only the screen was a little larger and there were more options like Photoshop & Painter. Oh well maybe in a later version. Or, maybe Inchworm may have those functions when it's released. We should know in a few months. Sean, I’ve had sometime to use Colors! DS. Yes, I did what you said to do about recopying the software to my SD card again. It works great. I love this program.

I'm enjoying Colors DS. Although, I haven't had time to really get into it I will during the next couple days. Yes, I'm using the Games 'n Music version. I will copy everything over and I'll let you know how it turns out. I've done some research on the DS and now I wish I had bought this a long time ago.

How do you get back to the main menu from Colors! DS? Currently, I have to turn the game system off to get out of it. Can somebody help? Thank you very much in advance for your assistance. Also, the cat painting playback file doesn't work. How can I fix this problem? I’ve got my DS Lite, now. How do you get back to the main menu from Colors! DS?
