Cel shading

Cel Shading is a visual style that originated in the mid-1990s and gained popularity in the early 2000s. It is characterized by its flat, vibrant colors and black outlines, which emulate the look of traditional hand-drawn animation. Cel Shading achieved fame through its use in video games, such as the iconic 'The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker' and 'Jet Set Radio.' It offers a unique blend of cartoon-like aesthetics and three-dimensional environments.
