Clean-up is a part of the workflow in the production of hand-drawn animation.
Clean-up animation is the process of taking tied-down animation to the final drawings you see in the finished film. It does not necessarily mean a "clean" fine line. The artist, usually a team or artists, uses key drawings and animation charts from the animator to construct the character and put it on model. Making it appear as though one artist has created the whole film. They will read any intention from the animators aniamtion and stay true to any performance or movement.
Clean-up is not a case of drawing over the animation or tracing with the final line. To control the model and volume the clean-up artist will do a construction pass first before finishing with the final line required for the specific project.
The job title for most clean-up artists is now commonly assistant animator, although this was not the original role of an assistant animator. An assistant animator would work closely with a more experienced key animator to best allocate time and experience to portions of the film.
Clean-up is generally done on a new sheet of paper. They can be done on the same sheet as the rough animation if this was done with a "non-copy blue" pencil. This certain tone of blue will be invisible for photocopying machines or grayscale scanners, where the finished animation will be copied on cels or transferred into a computer for further processing.
On average clean-up usually takes twice as long as the rough animation pass because of the precision and extra drawings that are required to complete a shot.
