Animation

For animators, a pen represents the most natural way to express creative concepts and to combine the advantages of a completely digital workflow with a natural pen-on-paper sensation for the purpose of creating designs faster and allowing greater creative control.

Animation

Animators can develop characters, sketch extreme poses, create fluid movements, ink details, and color frames faster than ever by working directly with a pen.

Working with a pen gives you the ability to create the distinctive lines that define your unique characters using the pressure-sensitive control of brushes, pencils, and markers directly on each frame of your work. Since all of the conceptual and production work involved in creating an animation can be performed so easily, animators can say "goodbye" to their old scanners forever.

With digital animation applications like Adobe Flash, Corel Painter, Bauhaus Mirage, and ToonBoom Studio, animators can take advantage of the power and speed of a digital workflow and the intuitive feel of pen on paper.

Case Studies

Cartoon Network

Animators at Cartoon Network feel like they are working with traditional media when working with a Wacom interactive pen display. Working directly on screen with the Cintiq offers the animation staff ways to explore and experiment that ultimately help build job satisfaction and speed the collaborative and creative processes.
