Riding

Riding is an image composition technique commonly used in anime, comics, or manga to depict an action or verb. It is often used to visualize characters or objects moving across an environment in a fast and smooth motion. In this technique, a background image is usually used to provide perspective and context to the action. The foreground image is then used to show the character or object itself in motion. The background image is often layered with various effects to give the action a more realistic feel. By combining the two images, the illusion of movement is created.
