Let me take you back to my first-ever interview in the animation industry. If we use a program to automatically vectorize the illustration, we can easily make use of this advantage.Hey there, I’m Declan Walsh. By imagining the poses that the character will assume during animation, we can make sure to not leave gaps in the design that will cause the character to look unsightly in the final animation.ĬTA allows us to import vector graphics for limitless resizing while keeping the resolution sharp and quality high for graphic animations. In the process, we must take into account the layers that go on top and those that go beneath. We will need to do the same with our character by separating it into parts. If we open them, we can see that they work by separating the joints of the body by layers and grouping them into folders. When we have finished with the 2D character creation, it is time to visit the CTA website and download the free templates to animate our character. This way, all the faces of the characters will have a consistent style and lets us animate with ease in CTA. Personally, I think it’s best to remove the whole inside of the face and make it individually. This process is of vital importance if you are working on a project with multiple characters and they all need to complement each other in a cohesive style.

Namely, we should modify the 2D character and decorative elements according to our tastes and bring them closer to the style of character we have in mind.

Our initial instinct may start us off with refining the hands, but I recommend taking this opportunity to make the illustration more our own. When our sketch has been turned into the desired illustration with the help of AI, we can start retouching it. Tailoring the Illustration for Cartoon Animator
