Hey folks, not that long ago I ran across a nifty freeware application ideal for making quick and dirty pencil tests with a digital art tablet. It also has some limited vector capability. Really it seems ideal for just messing around with and making pencil tests.

The program I'm talking about is here: http://www.les-stooges.org/pascal/pencil/

I'm going to try learning how to use it a bit. My goal, really, is to basically turn my laptop into an on-the-go tool to practice animation wherever I go. I would love to just pop out my 'top and do some animation studies/experiments to get much more mileage.

In any case, I am wondering if anyone knows of other freeware programs (not easytoon) that might be better suited towards this sort of thing than even this.

As far as freeware goes, for what you're looking for, Pencil is best.

Now, if you were looking to spend some money, then Toon Boom Pencil Check might be your best bet. (http://www.toonboom.com/products/pencilcheckpro/)
