ArtCel Brand Portal
ArtCel is Loppo’s material line for making hand-painted animation cels in the present day: transparent cel sheets, cel paints, and animation pegs for artists, learners, and workshops.
A cel is a transparent sheet used as the painting surface in traditional animation. Lines are transferred to the front, colors are painted from the back, and the finished cel is placed over a background for filming or display.
Commercial animation moved to digital production, and many dedicated cel supplies disappeared from ordinary art stores. Loppo treats cel painting as a living analog technique rather than only a nostalgic artifact.
ArtCel supplies modern materials chosen for cel painting: clear sheets, opaque flexible paints, and tools for alignment. They are practical contemporary substitutes, not claims of being identical to every historic studio material.
Loppo runs hands-on cel painting workshops using ArtCel materials. The booking flow currently links to the Japanese workshop pages.

Yes. The basic workflow is straightforward: trace the line art, paint from the reverse side, let it dry, and place it over a background. Loppo also offers workshop routes for people who want hands-on support.
ArtCel materials are modern practical materials selected for cel painting today. They are designed to support the required properties of cel work without claiming to be identical to every discontinued historic supply.
