Research on Digital Application of Hand-drawn Animation Art Language in All-media Era

As a traditional yet adaptable art form that resonates with the new era, the development of hand-drawn animation serves as a shortcut for the creation of new media animations continuously explored under digital technology. In the digital age, new media forms of animation are rapidly emerging and tending towards dominance, with 2D hand-drawn animation also widely adopting new production techniques. The digitization of traditional 2D hand-drawn animation significantly reduces production costs, enhances efficiency through internet file exchange and transmission, and greatly improves the quality of digitally drawn hand-drawn animation. This study primarily investigates the artistic form of representing 2D hand-drawn style animation using digital technology in the new media era, analyzes and summarizes the development characteristics of animation production in the digitalized way in the new media era, and discusses the characteristics and creative techniques of digitizing hand-drawn animation, representing a technological and aesthetic inheritance and promotion from paperless animation to traditional hand-drawn animation.
