2D animation involves creating characters and scenes in a flat, two-dimensional space and bringing them to life through frame-by-frame movement. It’s known for its expressive style and is widely used in everything from cartoons to explainer videos. Although it looks simple, it requires strong artistic skill and precise timing.
