sketches.  \n3)a)POSING YOUR CHARACTER  \nb)PLANNING ANIMATION  \n2)a)SIMPLIFIED HUMAN ANATOMY  \nb)CARTOONED OR CARICATURED HUMAN ANATOMY  \n1)a)GEOMETRIC SHAPES AND PERSPECTIVE  \nb)WARM UPS  \nAs you see,the sections are not in the usual order.You should study them insequence of 1-2-3,but you are probably all fired up and ready to drawcharacters and learn about planning animation and will skip to the fun partanyway.Read through the information as it is.After you have familiarizedyourself with all of the information begin with the warm ups,learn how to drawgeometric shapes in perspective,commit to knowledge,the body's simplifiedshapes and their relationships to one another and then draw characters andplan animation.  \nPicture in your head what you are about to draw.  \nThink about the content in your drawing,not the drawing itself.When youknow the content it is much easier to do the drawing.The detail in the drawingis not as important as the ACTION/ACTING information.Learn to simplifywhat you draw so that you can focus on communicating the idea behind thedrawing and the idea behind the animation.  \nClear,informative thumbnail sketches are essential to planning a drawing orplanning an animated scene.Simplified Drawing for Planning Animation isfocused on helping you to achieve just that-clear,simple and powerfullyinformative drawing.  \nChapter 3  \na)POSING YOUR CHARACTER  \nb)PLANNING ANIMATION  \nWhen animating,always know the reason behind a character's movements.Byshowing the reason behind the way a character moves,you are showing thepersonality,emotion and the result of what the character thinks-ACTING.The entire body should reflect the emotion and psychology of the character.  \nResearch,Research,Research,Research....  \nAnalyze your reference,don't just look at it.Get up and act it out and recordit on video tape if possible.Thumbnail your attitudes and actions.Look for thebest and most entertaining way to deliver your drawings and animation.  \n\"Spend half of your time planning your scene andthe other half animating it.”  \nFrank Thomas and Ollie Johnson authors of The Illusion of Life.  \nSimplified Drawing For Planning Animation is an approach to short-handdrawing that will make planning your animation easier and in turn can makeanimating much easier.  \nMastering the skills of drawing is a life long adventure.Although this informationhas been simplified and is focused on drawing for planning animation,it willenhance your drawing skills for Figure Drawing,Comic Art and Illustration.Youcan only simplify what you thoroughly know.  \nThe best way to learn is to translate information into your own drawings andwords.5tart a collection of books,notes on animation,samples of drawings andvideo tapes,get a sketch book and begin to translate the important informationinto your own drawings and words.Create your personal book of prioritizedinformation.  \nRemember,read through the information as it is.After you have familiarizedyourself with all of the information begin with the warm ups,learn how to drawgeometric shapes in perspective,commit to knowledge,the body's simplifiedshapes and their relationships to one another and then draw characters andplan animation.  \n·DESIGN THE ESSENC","cbCaiifOamJy8RuJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiifOamJy8RuJ","pdf",5508270,41,"English","#
