Aaron’s Art Tips #16 - Overlapping Action in Animation
Final Poke-Principle of the Day 13! Straight Ahead! Straight Ahead is an animation workflow technique where you rough out the movement one frame after the last. I.e: you draw frame 1, then frame 2, and so on, pushing forward "Straight Ahead". Straight Ahead animation often feels more organic than Pose to Pose animation, but motions can end up choppy or floaty if you're not being thoughtful and deliberately putting the other principles to use at the same time! (I kept forgetting to upload these on a regular schedule despite them all being done MONTHS ago lol. But there all here now!)

Aaron’s Art Tips #16: Animation Lesson - Overlapping Action In Animation
Poke-Principle of Animation 12: Pose to Pose!
A little trickier to explain in a single gif, so I'm sharing a process video. Pose to Pose is an animation workflow process where you draw “Key Poses” first, then adding breakdowns and inbetweens.
Here I roughed Hitmonchan’s start pose, anticipation pose, and final pose before experimenting with inbetweens and timings. Then I finally moved on to clean and color.
Animators often combine Pose to Pose with “Straight Ahead” animation techniques (tomorrow's tip). I personally like to do pose to pose for primary body movements, and use straight ahead techniques when adding overlapping action like hair and cloth.
