※ Acetate Sheet: cels were originally made out of celluloid, hence the name, but later replaced by the more durable acetate film. They’re offered in a multitude of sizes.
※ Special Cel Paint: 2 types exist in Japan, which are the Toei Animation ver. & the Animex ver.
※ Special dip or tracing pen: a.k.a the G-pen (I’m serious, that’s what it’s called!) in Japan, they are perfect for tracing since they don’t scratch up the acetate surface.
※ Watercolor Paint Brush: a brush with a firmer tip is favorable (That’s what she said… LOL!).
※ Glass Muddler: preferably a sleeker model (almost like a drink stirrer) since it’ll be used to mix the cel paint.
“Hooray!! ＼（＾o ＾）／” to the kick-off of the new anime cel art miniseries. The next tutorial will continue to introduce you more tools of the trade.
A brief explanation of what a cel is and how it’s produced can be found at AnimeCelArt.com but we’d like to introduce a more detailed breakdown of the creation process. That being said, we plan on posting up short tutorials on all things relating to the fabrication of anime cels.
We’ll begin with introducing you the essential tools/devices used by the artist and then move on to the actual production phase. The 1st edition will be available soon and we hope that you’ll enjoy the upcoming miniseries. Cheers!
The # of anime cel artists is decreasing at a rapid rate due to the digital movement that swept the entire industry in the late 90’s. As a result, this traditional art form and the exceptional technique associated with it are gradually disappearing. (；∩；)
AnimeCelArt.com commemorates the advancements in animation that could not have been achieved without the dedicated contribution of such talented cel artists. The site showcases cels from popular anime scenes recreated by the few remaining specialists, which is a rarity in itself.
We hope to pass this wonderful piece of anime history and collectable to our future generation. ENJOY!! (ｏ´∀｀ｏ)
