Hello! In this article, I will show you how to clean up a 2D Animation in Clip Studio Paint. We will continue with the girl's head spin animation that we made in the previous article:

In this article, we will carry out a new stage of this animation, the famous "Clean up" or "Cleaning" of the Animation.

 

For this, we will use the "Pen" tool, specifically the "Real G-Pen" sub-tool, to clean up our animation, creating a new animation folder on the timeline.

 

But since I know it's better understood by watching a tutorial, I invite you to watch the following video where you'll learn step-by-step how to clean up your animations:

Tutorial: How to Clean Up a 2D Animation

What did you think of the video? It was a detailed video where I showed you how to clean up an Animation.

 

Next, I invite you to see the final result of the Animation we made in the Tutorial:

Cleaned-up Animation of a Girl's Head Spin

Now we will start looking at the step-by-step process for cleaning up an Animation in Clip Studio Paint.

Step-by-step: How to Clean Up a 2D Animation

We will continue with the Animation we left off in the previous article titled:

To clean up the Animation, we will choose the "Pen" tool, and for the sub-tool, we will select "Real G-Pen". You can choose any of the sub-tool options. For "Stabilization," I leave it at maximum in my case, although it's up to personal preference.

Let's go to the "Timeline" to create a new "New Animation Folder". This is indicated by the following icon:

Remember that we can also zoom in on our workspace with the "Zoom" tool.

Additionally, in the "Color Circle," we choose the line color for our Animation.

Having completed all the previous steps, we begin to clean up our Animation.

And that's how we manage to clean up our first drawing, and this must be done for all subsequent drawings in our Animation, creating a "New Animation Cel" for each one.

In the eyes layer, we will create a "New Animation Folder" and perform the same steps indicated above, achieving the following result, which you could see at the beginning of the article.

In the next chapter, we will see how to color the 2D Animation of the girl's spin; you can see that in the following article:

I hope this article has been very useful to you and that you are encouraged to make your own creations in Clip Studio Paint.

 

Best regards, take care, and see you next time!
