The most common drawing techniques.

• Animated Drawing: This animation method is known as 2D animation and is the oldest in existence. Drawings were made on each frame to achieve the effect of movement.
• Stop motion animation: Unlike cartoons, this uses models and puppets that are photographed frame by frame so you can see the movement in the final product.
• Cut Out: Also called “cut animation” and is similar to stop motion animation, but instead of stop motion animation using 3D models, it uses flat figures. A prime example is South Park.
• Rotoscoping – when used, you can draw not only an identical image, but also something completely different.
• 3D Animation: This animation technique is prevalent these days. If you have ever played with plasticine, you will be able to understand how it works and that to create these “3D” figures you need to sculpt in software.
• Flesh Simulation: Commonly used by Pixar studios, the new technique is known as “Neo-Hookean Stable Flesh Simulation” and is named so because it is based on Hooke’s Law of Elasticity, which will allow your productions to have more realistic and impressive animation.
