Sketches serve as a great medium for visual communication and animating sketches can add dynamism and interactivity. Traditional tools for animating sketches require a unique set of skills to bring hand-drawn characters to life. Artists often refer to some existing videos and try to replicate a similar video motion to the sketch character when attempting to animate it. However, this process is often time-consuming, and an inaccurate replication of motion may make the character's movement look non-fluent or unnatural, especially for those with little to no experience in animation.
