The art of producing movement in a two-dimensional space is known as 2D animation. Characters, monsters, special effects, and scenery are all included.

Individual drawings are sequenced together over time to create the illusion of movement. A second is often divided into 24 frames. Depending on the animation technique, there might be up to 24 unique drawings in one second of animation (24fps) or as few as two.

Traditionally, the animation is done on “2s,” which means there is a drawing every 2 frames (12fps). This allows artists to save time and money on production while also giving 2D animation a distinct appearance.

While this is frequently referred to as traditional animation, mainstream 2D production has advanced from hand-drawn procedures employing pencil and paper to the use of computer-generated animation.
