"I've used some of your characters before and they're always very well received. I've learned a lot from your site and your products are first rate. Thank you for taking the time to keep things fresh and creating new lessons and things for us to learn from, it is very much appreciated."

-Kurt Melander

"I've purchased a number of your tutorials and have found them incredibly helpful. I recently purchased your 3/4 walking tutorial and loved it."

-Leesa Dean

"I purchased and am going through the Flash Beginner Course at present (Thanks for making Flash so easy to follow), and am next looking at getting the Master Course."

-David Slater

"I absolutely love the characters and backgrounds that Cartoon Solutions has designed! I first learned about you when looking for characters for my new animated series."

-David Evans

"I have already watched several (lessons) and have learned to draw the basics overnight. They are everything I hoped they would be. Thank you for making them easy to understand and simple to follow. You do a great job of explaining in them. Well worth the money."

-Shawn Pickering

"After seeing the examples on your site of what can be accomplished, I was stunned at the quality that could be achieved in this medium. Being able to instantly download your simple to follow tutorials, I was quickly able to work my way up to the more advanced levels, which enabled me to complete the courses at my own pace. The icing on the cake is that I can pick from a huge selection of characters and backgrounds, all rendered so beautifully, which allows me to get professional results very quickly and cost effectively. Your artwork and tutorials have been a huge source of inspiration for me, and I absolutely love your work - to put it quite simply - you have put the fire in my belly again."

-Ian McKendrick

"I spent a great deal of time searching for "character" art for training software. Your characters are perfect. Thanks!"

-Steven Tenpas

"My understanding of how to use Flash has dramatically improved. Cartoon Solutions has been an excellent introduction to the world of Flash animation."

-Michael Duffy

"I'd just like to once again give my sincere thanks. One could search onself sick on the Internet trying to find good tutorials for this and that. You have managed to offer an incredibly complete course, no where else to be found! And the professional material that comes along with the course, makes it inspiring to work with the assignments or try out other aspects by onself."

-Havard Krovel-Velle

"Just wanna say, what a LIFESAVER, these hand packs are. Wow. I'm just starting my first serious animation, putting my first character together and while I originally drew him with boney-ish hands, after doing 160 head comps, I started on the hands. While, I've got miles and miles to go, it was SO MUCH EASIER, just to size these, color them and pop them in. Thanks!"

-Liz Shields

"I had been looking for a book to show me just what you taught on how to draw the man and woman with the cylinders, hip triangle and such. That was information I could apply right after the video!"

-Dennis Mazur

"From my previous experience your packages are great for company departments in training or making an important point. All that is required is an animator and storyboard, hard part is already done by Cartoon Solutions."

-Frank Irving

"Your Drawing Tutorials, although done for flash, work just as well for Toon Boom - because you focus on the art and drawing and not how to use a specific program. I want to thank you again for these great tutorials."

-Mike Rhodes

"I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your work. I've already purchased many characters and I am having an awesome experience with them. And it is making my life soooooooooooooo much easier."

-Angela Roberts

"I just bought a handful of drawing and animation tutorials from your site, and so far they have been very helpful. I've come across many flash lessons from all over, and these seem to be the most geared to my interest. Thanks a lot!"

-Ronny Khalil

I recently purchased Samantha and have immediately put her to good use!! I only just started the animation on it but I am already impressed with the versitility of your characters. They are very easy to use and look great too! Keep up the good work!

-Jason D'Amico

I took a semester of figure drawing a couple of years ago that helped me a lot--it was the only full semester art class I've ever taken--but a few of these video tutorials put things into a few simple steps that changed and improved my approach, and shaved time off the amount of time it was taking me to get a drawing done. Great stuff.

-Rob Campbell

"Thanks so much for your wonderful website. I am really a novice at Flash, but I am very interested in learning about animation. I have over one hundred music quizzes that I made in various formats for my website, but my students' favorite quizzes are the (Flash) ones with cartoon animation involved. I decided that I wanted to learn to make my quizzes more animated, so I searched the Internet and found your site. The instructions and tutorials are easy for me to understand, and I love the artwork.
I appreciate all the helpful information on your website, and I do plan to purchase more of the characters soon."

-Karen Garrett

"May I take this opportunity to say how impressed I am with your products and I'm sure I will be a customer of yours for many years to come."

-Lance Lines

"I'm really enjoying your tutorials and I feel I will progress quickly. I'm just getting my head around the Drawing Course and will then definitely be purchasing the Animation Course. I salute you for showing and sharing your art and talent to the world"

-Carl Bryan

"I just wanted to say thank you for such a great and informative animation site. I am an aspiring young animator and your video tutorials and character packs have helped my skills immensely. I have created my own animation site, not e-commerce just cartoons and comics. Our first short was owed a lot to your training and practice packs. Thank you again."

-John Losacco

"I've been singing your praises to my friends, but I think it's time I sang them to you. I've been trying to learn about Flash animation for months. I've gone through books, tried a video tutorial (not one of yours) and was left scratching my head. Then I found your site and watched the free six-minute video about mouth comps for lip syncing and it was like being struck by lightning. All of a sudden, symbols made sense! I followed up by purchasing your tutorials on character building and mouth positions and within a couple days I'd made my first Flash movie. So I wanted to extend my thanks to you for helping me to "get" it. I'm spreading the word about you where I can."

-Tom Ellsworth

"I bought the walk cycles, and preparing your character for animation tutorials I loved them, they really helped me learn the basics of animation. Who needs expensive art school when you can learn with tutorials?"

-Sean McCracken

"Whether beginner or an experienced professional with core skills, Cartoon Solutions' Character Pack has virtually everything so one can focus on animating or learning Flash character animation. I found the symbols and builds were presented professionally, as all good animation for broadcast or internet should be, yet gives the user the building blocks to be customizable. Together with its online tutorials, I believe Cartoon Solutions have given today's 2D animator a valuable resource."

-Gerard de Souza

"This tutorial is a MUST have for anyone who seriously wants to learn their way around the paint brush tool in Macromedia Flash. For the novice with the brush, it seems an arduous task to even attempt it's deployment at first glance. Ryan dives right in, taking you through the basic principles of the oft overlooked and under utilized brush tool and the fundamentals behind it, all the way up to the advanced uses and techniques for it. When you listen to Ryan's lessons, you inevitably take from it additional tips and tricks that quite often aren't even mentioned in the lesson description. I personally have paid more for lessons that cover less and are quite vague in their teachings. Ryan does not talk down to you and his relaxing manner makes learning an intimidating program like Flash enjoyable and comfortable. The fact that he (the teacher) actually uses the program and has made a career with it adds credibility to the lessons right out of the box. This lesson and any others that Ryan offers cannot be recommended highly enough."

- Todd Dolce

"Hey, I just wanted to express my thanks. I was doubtful about your videos, and frustrated with Flash. I purchased your video on drawing faces, and already tonight my skills are vastly improving! You've given me hope!"

-Josh D.

"It's always fascinating to see someone else's approach to drawing in Flash, especially a seasoned professional like Ryan. I can wholeheartedly recommend the brush drawing tutorial. It was stuffed with content -- excellent tips for both preparation and application -- and speeding up your drawings. I have seen it several times, and I'm still learning little things each time -- check out "The Danger Zone!"

-John Oakley

"The Character Packs by Cartoon Solutions are well constructed and easy to animate. I find their design very appealing, which is an important aspect for any good flash animation."

-Darran Kuah

"Just wanted to take time to say thanks for the Drawing Course. I've been working with it for a while now and I must say I've learned a lot, and have become a much better artist in Flash. All I've been doing is practicing the lessons for the past few weeks, and a lot of the tips and tricks you offer I never would've figured out on my own, which helps to speed up the production process in character creation. Everything was done very well from the onset. What I get out of the course was the fun I had while learning, and the confidence building I started to get using a Wacom (drawing tablet) in Flash. As far as the "Drawing" is concerned, I dont think you could've offered much more, this to me was as concise as you could get. Just wanted to say you did a great job of offering these teaching tools, and once I'm finished with these, I'm definitely gonna get the Animation course next."
