Drawing for print comics prioritizes static imagery, detailed linework, and panel composition for a sequential reading experience. Animation focuses on creating drawings that, when rapidly displayed, create the illusion of movement. Animation requires understanding timing, keyframes, in-betweens, and often simplified designs for efficient production. Line weight and detail are often less crucial in animation's initial stages, focusing more on clear silhouettes and poses.
