Pencil2D is a free and open-source 2D animation software for Windows, macOS, and Unix-like operating systems. It is released under the GNU General Public License and uses the Qt framework. It is used for making cartoons using traditional techniques (tracing drawings, onion skinning, etc), managing vector and bitmap drawings.
Clean-up is a part of the workflow in the production of hand-drawn animation. In traditional animation, the first drawings are called "roughs" or "rough animation" because they are often done in a very loose fashion. If the animation is successfully pencil tested and approved by the director, clean versions of the drawings have to be
A-ha's "Take On Me" (1985) famously combined live-action with realistic pencil-drawing animation by Michael Patterson. The video was directed by Steve Barron, who would also direct the groundbreaking computer-animated Dire Straits "Money for Nothing" in the same year.
The 2019 film I Lost My Body was largely animated using Blender's Grease Pencil tool by drawing over CGI animation allowing for a real sense of camera movement that is harder to achieve in purely traditionally drawn animation. [141] Ubisoft Animation Studio will use Blender to replace its internal content creation software starting in 2020. [142]

In traditional animation, images are drawn or painted by hand on transparent celluloid sheets to be photographed and exhibited on film. Animation has been recognized as an artistic medium, specifically within the entertainment industry.
Paths can also be created using the pen or pencil tool. The paint bucket tool can be used to fill bounded areas of vector objects. Raster images (sometimes called Bitmap) can be imported and used as either static backgrounds or animated assets. Finished animations can be exported to various file formats that include: OGG, AVI, MPEG, SWF.
Onion skin of frame 7 of this image showing previous 3 frames. In 2D computer graphics, onion skinning is a technique used in creating animated cartoons and editing films to view several frames at once.
Synfig Studio (also known as Synfig) is a free and open-source vector-based 2D animation software. [3] It is created by Robert Quattlebaum [4] with additional contributions by Adrian Bentley. Synfig began as the custom animation platform for Voria Studios (now defunct), [5] and in 2005 was released as free/open source software, under GNU GPL-2. ...
