Pencil

Pencil is an animation/drawing software.

It lets you create traditional hand-drawn animation (cartoon) using both bitmap and vector graphics.

Pencil is not intended to imitate web-oriented vector-based animation software such as Flash.

A Pencil document is organised in layers. There are currently four types of layers: bitmap image, vector image, sound and camera.
