In this lesson students will be introduced to the methods,
techniques and understandings necessary for cleaning up and tracing
back drawings so that they are ready for scanning into the computer
to be used in bitmap/vector image production. Students will review
analyzing characters for basic underlying shapes, forms and
volumes, before proceeding to how to clean up and trace back rough
drawings. The main technique for trace backs/clean ups students
will be introduced to and using is the dagger stroke. The dagger
stroke is crucial for creating clean consistent lines in line based
animation.
