Let's draw a cartoon!

Yes, we are now talking about this old school cartoon, drawn on paper. This will require a pencil tracing paper (it is transparent, matte on both sides and has a bright white color), you can also put your ideas on cigarette paper, it depends on the assortment of stationery stores. The magic of animation is that to create even a very short stories, you'll need lots of drawings and plenty of patience. If you're ready for this, let's start.

Traditionally, cinema uses 24 frames per second. In animation you can depart from this rule and use half as much. Number the pages in advance for your convenience. Draw on the first page of the first frame. Then, at each subsequent, you have to draw virtually the same thing, only slightly modifying some parts, until eventually you will not get the required number of drawings. A more careful approach should start with drawing up storyboards - sequences of images, with time, it serves as an excellent auxiliary resource in order to navigate in the history of the cartoon.

When all the necessary frames are drawn, you should start the technical part of the cartoon. All drawings should be photographed or scanned to transfer to your computer. There are lots of programs for editing (e.g. Pinnacle Studio, Sony Vegas, Adobe Premiere) to put all frames together in chronological order, add music or, if necessary, voices. Post the result to your facebook wall!
