Key drawings and animation breakdowns

Key drawings

Key drawings are the drawings that are essential to animating a character. A character’s action is broken down into key drawings that represent the extremes of that action. The drawings in between the key drawings carry the eye from one to the other. A key point in an action can often be identified by:

a moment of rest and no acceleration
moment of maximum position, zero velocity and maximum acceleration
