Hi everyone! Animation School is back with a deep dive into the fourth principle of animation, exploring two essential approaches to drawing movement: Straight Ahead and Pose to Pose. In this video, we’ll break down how each method works, when to use it, and how to combine them to make your animation lively and expressive.
💡 What you’ll learn:
-How Straight Ahead creates smooth, natural motion with frame-by-frame drawing.
-How Pose to Pose allows precise planning of key poses and in-betweens.
-Practical exercises to improve your skills, from simple pose transitions to dynamic actions like dancing or moving objects.
-Tips for keeping animations engaging while controlling proportions, volume, and timing.
This video is perfect for animators who want to understand movement deeply and combine techniques to create stunning results.
📌 Try the exercises yourself! Share your results in the comments or send them to us — we might feature your work in a future video.
