Animation Techniques: Classic Hand Drawn

Once I started making my own animation I wanted to make sure that I knew some of the more well known animation techniques that have been used throughout the recent years where the animation industry has really developed further than ever. To begin with I decided to look at the traditional animation technique of hand drawn animations.

Traditional animation, sometimes known as classical or hand-drawn, is an animation technique where each frame is drawn by hand; in which this technique was the dominant form of animation in the cinema. This is actually a very well known animation technique and can mainly be seen in many of the Walt Disney films that were created either in the 50s or 90s; the most popular including The Lion King, The Little Mermaid and Aladdin.
