Animation studios such as A-1 Pictures, Toei Animation, MADHOUSE, Studio Ghibli, and many more produce some visually appealing animated series. The question is how do they do it and whether it is possible to recreate it with our programs?
As a side note I thought I made up the word "animation style", but here is a link to something relating to this topic. Here is my definition of "animation style" the inking and coloring within an animation, excluding backgrounds.
By normal standards you wouldn't hear the word "animation style" used as often since it is referred by its animator's name. For example the style for Adventure Time(Finn and Jake) is called Pendleton Ward, the animator being Pendleton Ward. Although originality is encouraged during this present time, it would be great to know how other styles are created even by theory. I'm hoping that, in the near future, we can create a periodic table of animation styles, showing how to recreate them. As of now I encourage people to post their favorite animation styles, try to recreate posted styles, or talk about how they're made. It may take a great amount of experimentation, but it would be very helpful to animators and colorists. Maybe even guide book-worthy, like a encyclopedia.
To begin this thread I'll use the PW style (Pendleton Ward). I don't know much about how the style is made, but I'll provide you with a picture and the information needed to know more about it.
Cartoon Series: Adventure Time
Animation Style: Pendleton Ward
