The technique of sequentially drawing pictures to provide the appearance of character movement is known as “2D animation” or “traditional animation.” The fundamentals of animation are still the same, even if contemporary 2D animators frequently utilize software rather than paper and a stylus in place of a pencil. There are several kinds of 2D animation, ranging from Japanese anime to the “puppet cut-out” technique used in Gravity Falls and Arthur, Rick, and Marty. Visit Animation Mentor’s 2D Animation Workshops to learn about classic animation using contemporary technologies. Anyone interested in attending these seminars is advised to have some basic sketching abilities.
