More Drawing Styles

I know my animation is going to be drawn, but there are so many different ways I could draw.



Do I want to exclusively just draw with ink?

If so will I add any colour?

How will I do this? with colouring pencil, markers or photoshop?

Maybe I could use cutouts to add colour or collage?

Instead of making up characters I could rotoscope and have the basis for my characters already made up.



So I am going to look at and try these different styles and narrow it down for myself.



This first I am going to have a look at the different styles and ten try them out.
The first one is Angela Anaconda. It is a popular children's television show. It uses cutout and collage animation, made using a purpose-shot images put together using a 3D animation program called Houdini.








Then I looked at ink drawing animation.



Ha Ha love this cartoon I found on youtube.

It is amazing how a simple ink line drawing can be so effective AND funny.

It really did not need colour either, I think it was quiet compelling without it.

Next I looked at flip book animation.

This is a series of amazing drawings that vary gradually from one page to the next, so that when the pages are turned rapidly, the pictures appear to animate a gun being shot.

It is like shooting on ones and is similar to the ink drawing clip above.

Then there is collage.
