really?

I know of zero studios that are still doing any painting. they are all digital. sk, china, japan - no one uses paint filmed one cel at a time, or any of the old analog processes anymore. I'd be happy to be wrong, but I don't know of anyone that's still doing painted cels recorded on film.

Even Ghibli. https://www.dqindia.com/features/studio-ghibli-blending-tradition-and-technology-in-the-age-of-animation-8921913

"Ghibli's selective integration of technology, primarily digital ink-and-paint techniques facilitated by software like OpenToonz, stands in stark contrast to the unbridled embrace of AI in the recent Ghibli-style art phenomenon."

    I didn't say that they were painting on paper

    Digital painting by hand is still qualifies as "painted by hand"

    ROFLS okay bud. Perhaps you weren't born yet but there have been a few arguments about this.... well, more than a few. LOTS. Like, animator holy war levels of arguments. And it wasn't a one-and-done transition either, lots of productions went back and forth because of the requirements of the episode or availability.

    Take a look at the simpsons to see a show that eschewed digital ink and paint until they went all in. when they did, they changed the aspect ratio of the show, knowing it was going to look so different that few would even notice the swap to 16x9 from old crt 4x3.
