A cartoon program is a collection of strategically timed transactions of specially painted cartoon cells. One episode of a cartoon show can take months even years to complete depending on its difficulty. A cartoon cell, also known as an animation cell is a clear sheet of acetate or nitrate paper. The desired objects and characters are hand painted on to this special paper then placed over a background. Once the animation cell has reached this stage, a picture is taken of the cell with the background. Then the outline of the character is ether hand painted or Xeroxed on to the cell. This process ensures an exact duplication of the character onto new animation cels. After the character is duplicated onto the new cel, the background is hand painted onto the background of the cel.

Completing a whole cartoon episode takes a lot of man power, effort, and resources. The outcome of hundreds of man hours and thousands of animation cels results in a half hour cartoon. When you’re watching a cartoon you can’t even imagine the amount of work it takes to develop the animation movement and apply sound to it. Along with character movement fluidity, the developers have to time the cartoon cells to match the sounds the cartoon character is making. The matching of the character movement with the sound is one of the hardest parts of making a cartoon, it takes a lot of time and effort to get this right. Integrating the sound with the cartoon cel can also be one of the longest procedures in cartoon making. We have one of the largest ranges of superhero art available for you to browse and purchase.
