Digital clean-up drawing requirements
Learning Objectives
After reading this information sheet, the learners will be able to:
1. understand the clean-up requirements for drawing, cartoon – simple;
2. demonstrate how the clean-up requirements for drawing be used;
3. appreciate the importance of digital clean-up drawing requirements.
Clean-up Requirements for Drawing (Cartoon – Simple)
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 “raffs”
animation because they are often done in a very loose drawing. If the animation
is successfully pencil tested and approved by the director, clean-up of drawings
has to be done. The assistant animator or clean-up artist is responsible for the
final line and finished look of the shot.
Requirements for Clean-up Drawings
1. Key Animation – are poses drawn by the animator representing the action
and narrative required by the scene/sequence.

Rough Construction Model Sheet
It can sometimes focus only on details of a character, such as hair or even
spots. This set of Flynn Rider sheets were created by Glen Keane for the film
“Tangled”. One shows the underlying structure of the character while the
second presents the same poses fully clothed. These 2D designs are great aids
for building a 3D character.
Rough Model Sheets
They are created from the best studies or keys from the most successful scenes
that have been animated of the character up to that point. They often show
action, expressions and attitudes that best display the character’s personality.
Sometimes a turn around drawing which also shows how many heads high the
character can be added to the rough model sheet, which creates a rough
version of the “all-in-one” design.
Rough Dialogue Model Sheet
It shows various mouth shapes that are created when the character is
speaking. This one has the added benefit of also showing a range of emotions.
Some characters are unique in that they aren’t entirely constructed with
recognizable anatomy.
Fine Line or Clean Up Construction Model Sheet
It helps animators to see volume as well as structure for even the most
“cartoony” of characters.
Turn Around Model Sheet (many studios use one word, “turnarounds”,
instead)
When beginning your turnaround model sheet, it’s usually easiest to start with
either a forward facing view of your character that has the proportions entirely
worked out. Referencing the front view, line them up and use a ruler to map
out corresponding points on their head and body in ¾ view, side view and back
view.
Final Line Turn Around Model Sheet
It’s often helpful to other artists working on the project if your pose includes
one bent arm and one that’s straighter opposite one bent leg and one that’s
straight. This gives other artists more information when handling the limbs in
different situations.

used for final artwork. Frames are captured either via video camera, frame by
frame or by scanning them into a computer. The resulting sequence allows the
animator to assess how well the sequence is flowing.
Onion Skinning is the method used to view several frames of an animation
simultaneously, it allows the animator to check the changes occurring within
each frame and how they flow together. Traditionally this process involved
comparing drawn frames on light box but many animation software packages
include the ability to preview frames with several previous and upcoming
translucent frames visible.

The next 4 icons are for controlling in the image window. The first icon is
enabling the Light Box or ‘Stack’. In B & W mode when the ‘Stack” is on
FlipBook keeps track of up to 10 drawings on your light table and can simulate
traditional page flipping.
The second icon is the Light for the ‘Light Table’. When the Light is on you can
see all of the images that are currently on the Stack in the Image Window. The
Light only works when the Stack is on.
The third icon controls whether or not the background image (BG) will be
displayed in the image window during editing. The fourth icon turns the
AutoSave feature on and off.
The next 3 icons control the exposure sheet or x-sheets for short.
The X-sheet icon turns the x-sheet on or off.
The Sound icon shows or hides the sound level in the x-sheet.
The Thumbnail icon switches you back and forth between viewing thumbnail
images in the x-sheet or just their labels.
The Capture icon brings up the Capture dialog box so you can adjust your
settings and capture drawings directly into the x-sheet. You can also capture
directly into the x-sheet by pressing the F8 key. This uses the current capture
settings but bypasses the Capture dialog.
The Scanner icon opens the Scanner dialog box. Scanning gives you the best
quality but takes a little longer.
The Color icon lets you switch between the Color mode and B&W mode. In the
Color mode you can see the Color Palette or Color Model and the additional
tools in the Tool Box for painting. Your animation will also play back in color.

The Tone Matte icon brings up the Layer dialog box so you can select which
tone matte layer you want to work with and set its values. Tone mattes are
used to create shadows, glows and highlights.
Below the image window are controls, like those on a VCR. They can be used at
any time to play back the active levels of your scene or view the frame you want
to see. From left to right the buttons are: Stop, Home, Reverse, Step Backward,
Pause, Step Forward, Play, End and Loop. The next two buttons adjust the
playback rate, even while the scene is playing. This can also be done with the
plus (+) and minus (-) keys. The current rate is displayed in the status bar at
the bottom of the Image Window.
To the right of the VCR controls there is a Slider. This lets you drag the pointer
to move forward and backward through the scene and set start and stop points
for playback.
