Clean-Up Procedures
Clean-up animation is the process of creating the final drawings you see in the finished film. It necessarily means a
“clean” fine line. The artist usually a team of artists, uses key drawings and animation charts from the animator,
making it appear as though one artist has created the whole film.
What are the Requirements for Clean-up Drawings?
1. Actual Scene Folder containing the following:
a. Animators rough key drawings
b. Model sheets
c. Layout
d. Storyboard
e. X-sheets
2. Clean-up tools and materials such as Pencil,
animation paper, and eraser
3. Equipment such as Light box with animation
disc and peg bar
Important Tips in Clean-up Drawings
1. “Think of shape not line!” This doesn’t mean that line quality is unimportant. It means that when lying down your
line you should think of yourself as a sculpture. Sculpting out your shape and defining it with a clean, simple, and
consistent line. Using a nice, smooth line will help to avoid “crawling” or “popping” against the surrounding
drawings.
2. Lead of pencils preferably start with an HB lead, if your line is too light then try using the B lead. If it is too heavy or
hairy, try H lead pencil.
3. “Lazy lines” often seen in trace backs will make a constructed drawing seem flat. Use both top and bottom lights
to help avoid them.
4. Connect all lines! the color will literally leak out in digital ink and paint systems. Make ink and paints job easier and
check your drawings for gaps.
5. Straight against Curve- Use straight lines for tension, strength, hard areas like knees and elbows. Curves for flow,
sag and softness. Let them play off one another as they do in nature.
6. Varied Lines- if you’ve mastered a consistent line, then you must try to slightly darken your lines on objects that
are closest to the viewer to bring them forward.
Procedures for Manual or Traditional Clean-up
1. Place the rough drawing on the top of the light box, insert the holes of the animation paper on the peg bar to
prevent them from moving.
2. Switch on and off the light while tracing to check the consistency of the lines based on the original drawing.
3. Use only one stroke when tracing, it depends on your style of using the pencil.
4. Keep rotating the animation disc while tracing the drawing for more convenient position of your hands and eyes.
5. Don’t forget to copy in your cleaned-up drawing what is written on the original drawing.
6. Repeat the previous steps for each drawing.
Animator’s Keys
A Key Animator is the artist responsible for producing the principal Key Frames of animation. Basically key
animators draw the essential frames that mark a distinct position or expression of a character in a particular scene.
In other words, they draw the structure of animated scene.
Pose to pose is a term used in animation for creating key poses for characters and then in-betweening them in
intermediate frames to make the character appear to move from one pose to the next. A key frame in animation and
filming is a drawing that defines the starting and ending points of any smooth transition. A sequence of key frames
defines which movement the viewer will see, whereas the position of the key frames on the film, video, or animation
defines the timing of the movement. The individual frames of a traditionally animated film are
photographs of drawings, first drawn on paper. To create the illusion of movement, each drawing differs slightly
from the one before it. Today, animators’ drawings and the backgrounds are either scanned into or drawn
directly into a computer system.
To check the cleaned-up drawings with the animator’s keys, here are some tips to be consider:
1. Check the consistency of the characters specially the actions based on animator’s keys.
2. Look for the likeness of character against model sheets and key drawings.
3. Check the consistency of lines in terms of thickness.
4. Make some adjustments of any inconsistency on the cleaned-up drawings.
