Potentials & limitations 3

simple 2d animations vs detailed 2d animations

Animated cartoons have many various styles these days that showcases either simple drawings or really detailed drawings, this either tells you that the character is done by professional animators such as characters like deadpool:

which takes a lot of time to create because of the amount of detail that has been put in to the character and needs someone who has had a lot of experience to animate such a detailed character whereas simple 2D characters such as Finn and Jake:

would not take to long to create because they are simply made out of simple shapes making the animation process less time consuming and allows the animator to get more done.

Both simple and detailed animations have their potentials and limitations, for example with dead pool he will always need to stay consistent throughout the scenes hes animated and that could limit the amount of squash and stretch the character can do, which also has the potential of looking good having the extra details makes the visuals look interesting, making the character look serious and human like.

On the other hand simple animations have their potentials of making the character squash and stretch because the characters are simple and would not take too long when animating them, for example Jake the dog can shape shift and this can help visually understand that anything is possible to do with Jake. As it is simple, there are limitations as to the movement that happens to the characters on the show,  but this is not as limited as it is with detailed drawings it all depends on the animators who are animating such sequences with their experience.
