Art styles

More than 70 looks for Apply Anime Style and Try a Style, from studio anime to watercolour to black-and-white manga. You can add your own.

Two groups

The picker has two tabs, and they do different jobs:

Animation
Paints your panel again as anime or cartoon art. This is what most films use. 41 looks.
Manga
Adds colour and tone to black-and-white pages without deciding what colour anything is. Nothing can disagree between panels, because no panel is given its own colours. 34 looks.

A style is how it is drawn

A style is the lines, the shading, the colour fills and the texture. It is the same on every panel of your film.

The light and the mood of a single panel are not part of the style. They come from the Plan Art notes for that panel. This is why a happy page still looks happy in a dark action style, and a night fight still looks like night.

Some of what is in there

  • Studio anime — clean cel anime, bright school, dark action, neon city, mecha.
  • Painted and storybook — watercolour, oil paint, painted 2D, storybook 3D.
  • Ink and manga — comic ink, black-and-white manga, brush ink, gothic ink, screentone, clear line.
  • Colour tones for manga pages — duotone, sepia, moonlit blue, amber, ashen grey.
  • Clay and stop-motion — clay, stop-motion puppets, limited old-cartoon animation.

Most looks have a picture in the picker. The rest show an icon until a picture is added.

How to choose one

  1. Open one cleaned panel and use Try a Style on two or three looks. One panel, in place, cheap.
  2. Pick the one you like.
  3. Run Apply Anime Style on the whole Clean Up folder with it.
Do not change style between panels. One panel in a different style makes the video animate the change from one look to the other. Being the same everywhere matters more than any single panel.

Make your own style

You can add a style. Describe only how it is drawn — the lines, the shading, the fills, the texture. Do not describe a subject and do not describe a mood. Your style then shows up in the picker with the others and works everywhere they do.
