NDS Flipnote style animations

Hello,

I am very new to Adobe Animate CC. I have made a few simple animations just to figure out the program, but now i am trying to replicate the style as seen in this video: 2 minutes of happiness - YouTube

These animations were made with a Nintendo DS game console using a program called Flipnote. This program is only available on the system. To replicate this style, i need to know 2 things:

First of all, how do i create a canvas that is fully pixel based? When i create a new project i get to choose a canvas size. But no matter what i select (I'm using 352 x 240 pixels canvas for reference) The drawings always end up vectorized. And second: is it possible to create a brush of sorts that creates the shading styles seen below?

Thanks!

Your drawings are always going to vector because Animate is a vector program.

oh, those flipnote animations are so nice, love that Keke stuff! You actually can disable antialiasing in Animate, which will help somewhat, untick 'smooth' in the export movie dialog, but you're still gonna have to run it through after effects or something to properly get nice pixel patterns. If you really want the full pixel experience you might be better off using a dedicated app like pixly though
