Lesson 8:

Producing cleaned-up drawing

and in-between drawing.
Topic 1:
Clean-up requirements for
drawing (cartoon simple).
Clean-up is a part of the workflow in
the production of hand-drawn
animation.
In traditional animation, the first drawings are called "roughs" or "rough
animation" because they are often done in a very loose fashion. If the
animation is successfully pencil tested and approved by the director, clean
versions of the drawings have to be done. In larger studios this task is given
to the animator's assistant, or, in a more specialised setting, to a clean-up-
artist. The artist doing the clean-ups is responsible for the final line and
finished look of the shot.

Tools
1.Animation Disc
The white plexiglass
disc has the
advantage of being
much less expensive
than the traditional
metal disc with sliding
peg bars , as well as
being light-weight
enough to carry
around and use for
animating in casual
situations
2.Pencil
A › pencil (also called:
graphite pencil) is a
writing utensil with a
graphite lead embedded
in a wooden shaft. It is
mainly used for artistic
sketching and drawing, for
stenography or notes. Its
benefits are the simple
usage as well as being
able to remove what
you've drawn with an
eraser.
3.Peg Bar
So a peg bar is a
piece of plastic, or if
you get fancy a piece
of metal, that is
meant to hold your
papers in place when
you draw and shoot
your animation.
 4.Eraser
An Eraser is what you use
to to erase mistakes on
your sketches.
6.Animation light table
A light table is a viewing
device that is used to
review photographic film
or artwork placed on top
of it. A horizontal form of a
self-standing lightbox, it
provides even illumination
of the subject from below
through a translucent
cover and fluorescent
lights that emit little heat.
5.Animation Paper
An Animation Paper is what
you use for sketches for
Animations.

Types of model sheets
Types of model sheets

In animation, a model sheet, also known as a character board,

character sheet, character study or simply a study, is a document used
to help standardize the appearance, poses, and gestures of an
animated character. Model sheets are required when large numbers of
artists are involved in the production of an animated film to help
maintain continuity in characters from scene to scene, as one animator
may only do one shot out of the several hundred that are required to
complete an animated feature film. When drawn without such
background, the character is referred to as off-model

Key drawings and
Animation breakdowns.
Key drawings are the drawings that are essential to animating a
character. A character’s action is broken down into key drawings that
represent the extremes of that action. The drawings in between the
key drawings carry the eye from one to the other. A key point in an
action can often be identified by:

a moment of rest and no acceleration

moment of maximum position, zero velocity and maximum
acceleration

Clean up drawing preparations
Clean-up animation Preparations
it is the process of creating the final drawings you see in the finished
film. It does not necessarily mean a "clean" fine line. The artist,
usually a team of artists, uses key drawings and animation charts
from the animator, making it appear as though one artist has created
the whole film.
