Others are based on contemporary interpretations of classic characters or scenes by their animators- Chuck Jones limiteds, for instance. Limited editions are always hand-numbered on the cel, and many are signed by the artists. If you would like to learn more about how hand-painted limited edition cels are made, we invite you to drop by our online Creating a Limited Edition cel presentation. Sometimes called serigraph cels. The serigraphy process involves silk-screening each individual color to the cel, one at a time.
Every distinct shade is a separate screen, and a separate pass in the procedure.
As a result of this fine art operation, each color is flawlessly reproduced. Sericels are also created in limited quantities, typically 2500 to 5000 pieces. Because of their larger edition size, sericels are the most affordable type of animation art, ideal for the beginning collector. If you would like to learn more about how sericels are made, we invite you to drop by our online Creating a Limited Edition Sericel presentation. A combination of cels presented together.
