Solid Drawing is the technique that is used to assert the three-dimensional aspect of forms and characters. In other words, with solid drawing animators maintain volume, weight, and balance of characters and objects, making them appear more dynamic. The opposite of solid drawing is called "wooden drawing", which describes characters or forms that do not exhibit a consolidation of three-dimensional space, but appear to be flat and two-dimensional (as a cardboard cut-out). Thus, by applying solid drawing, an illusion of 3D space is created which adds depth, perspective, and scale to the animation, rendering it applicable to every-day existence. For example, linear and parallel drawings would not create the illusion of 3D because they won't follow the perspective of space (which is to follow the vanishing point of the occurring shot).
Samurai Jack:
