Learn to Draw Caricatures

How do they make modern cartoons?

I kinda understand how older cartoons were made, hand-drawing each frame, but I don’t understand how they make some of these modern-day cartoons. How do they do it?

    ah.. split framing.

    they draw one frame, and then maybe the 30th frame, and the computer fills it in with a guess as to what it should look like

    While some are still done by hand-drawing them, most are now done with computer programs. They still draw character out but then they create them on the computer and the animation is created digitally! Craaazaayy

    Once the basic outline of a figure is drawn the movement is achieved by drawing,for example the arm, on a separate layer rather than redrawing the whole figure.Subsequent layers give the movement by nudging the layer around.Figures can be moved over a background,just as was done with cell animation.
    Filling in with colours is done at the click of a mouse,or pen,as long as the outline is a closed shape,while a palette of colour is easily reproduced by just typing in a set of numbers.
