ABSTRACT
Over the last two decades, digital technology has streamlined animation production. The versatility of software can mimic traditional processes without the need for a film camera. The cost of materials has decreased, although there are other expenses such as software, hardware, and a more highly trained and highly paid staff. The reduction of time, labor, and cost justifies the industry's eager embrace of digital production. Whether your content is generated by conventional or digital means, animating on a frame-by-frame basis can be a time-consuming undertaking. Its great advantage, however, is having ultimate control over every mark, line, and brush stroke to develop your vision. Professional experience or a fine arts degree is not necessary to create meaningful compositions. In fact, the most primitive drawings can be provocative or humorous when played back in sequence. However, some degree of drawing or painting experience is beneficial, along with creativity, patience, and a familiarity with the techniques that are described here.
