Why do shows animated on paper have better expressions?

>>149170421 (OP)
Because there was more heart and soul put into hand drawn stuff.

Cause most digital artists take shortcuts. When you can just copy a frame and edit it instead of having to redraw it completely, its easy to start phoning it in and rush through compared to the more traditional methods.

Watch Bocchi the Rock

Is that supposed to be Bluto? Odd gif example to make your point

>>149170421 (OP)
Watch some anime especially the older ones.

It's "supposed to be", yes. but in actually it's Brutus, a new character made to take his role in the 60's TV series. Basically King Features thought that Bluto was made for the shorts, and didn't realize he'd actually originated in the Thimble Theatre strips.
Bluto and Brutus were later retconned into being twin brothers

Because the people who drew them did so in a time when there was a greater emphasis on classical training and techniques.

It's not an issue of medium, it's an issue of skills and knowledge not being learned or passed on.

Hank Hill has so many. I like that they’re subtle

because the exec cant make an asset library and force you to use it. in digital you can copy pieces and save them for later, and chop up characters and assemble them like a puzzle. to make those assets as universally iseable as possible they have to fit in a narrow rwnge and have wide applicability.
now you COULD redraw everything every time like on paper with digital. and it will still cost less than digital, but they need to squeeze their animation dollars down to every penny.

Did you post that gif ironically?

>>149170796
How about this.
I've yet to see modern cartoonists replicate this.

>>149170807
why would they bother, this looks like shit

>>149170498
Brutus, who was like a fatter Bluto introduced for the 1960s cartoon.

>>149170608
I like this pose

Shut up, retard.

OG King of the Hill and Samurai Jack have the best faces

Old Newgrounds stuff can be good

They’re minimalist, yet expressive.

Have you ever actually held paper? You can feel the weight from every possible direction, even the lines you make by mistake add live when you draw organic things like plants, animals and people. Digital table never advanced much on that
