Blank animation cels and animation cel sheets

Blank animation cels are clear plastic sheets used as the painting surface in traditional cel animation. ArtCel sheets are selected for transparency and paint adhesion so reverse-side color stays stable. Browse the cel category for animation cel sheets for sale online (Japan delivery), and compare sizes and peg-hole options for your workflow.

Cel animation paint and paint supplies

Cel animation paint is opaque color designed for reverse-side painting on cel sheets. ArtCel paints are selected for coverage and flexibility after drying, and pair with fine brushes, cleaning cloths, and a simple palette. Small bottles suit first pieces; educators can plan larger color ranges for classes.

For people making the first piece

The starter route focuses on a practical minimum: a blank cel sheet, cel animation paint, brushes, and a simple line drawing. Add animation pegs when you need registration between drawings and sheets—closer to classic hand-drawn animation production.

For checking materials in person

The Shibuya store is useful when you want to see surface clarity, wet paint color, and sheet feel before buying. Paint appearance can change after drying and by application method, so wet-color checks help set expectations for finished cels.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy blank animation cels?

Loppo sells blank animation cels (ArtCel transparent sheets) through the English store route at /en/store/cel. Online checkout currently ships within Japan; for other destinations, contact Loppo before ordering.

What is cel animation paint?

Cel animation paint is opaque color made for reverse-side painting on transparent cel sheets. It should cover cleanly, stay flexible after drying, and keep the front-line art readable. ArtCel paints support hobby, education, and experimental production—not as a substitute for ordinary watercolor.

How should I combine paint supplies for a first kit?

Choose paints alone or pair them with blank animation cels and brushes via the starter materials route. Animation pegs are optional when you want a more production-like registration workflow. There is no single universal “full set”; pick items for the piece you want to make.

Does Loppo ship internationally?

The online store currently focuses on domestic shipping in Japan. For international purchase or professional inquiries about paints and blank cels, contact Loppo before ordering.

Which material should beginners choose first?

Start with blank animation cels and cel animation paint. If you want a more animation-like workflow, add peg-punched sheets and animation pegs, and read the how-to guide before your first piece.
