Research of animation's basic skill - 05/04/2022

I found some basic skills of animation in Kit laybourne's book The Animation Book.

Less Is More.

Cut out all nonessential details. Simplify still more.See how simple and learn the drawings are, how uncluttered and unrest the graphic techniques.

Line and Body Language.

Heavier lines attract our attention. Angular lines suggest a feeling of tension. Smooth and free lines create a peaceful, happy feeling.

Frame and Composition.

Avoid the centre. Position something in the middle of the frame creates a feeling of total stasis. Similarly, stay away from an even division of the frame or a composition that is too balanced.
