1. Squash and stretch- gives the illusion of gravity, mass, and flexibility
2. Anticipation- prepare the viewer for what's about to happen
3. Staging- draw attention where necessary
4. Straight ahead action- drawing frame by frame to make realistic, fluid movements
Pose to pose- draw the beginning frame, end frame, and a few key frames then go back and draw the rest -
- Follow through and overlapping action- when an object comes to a stop after movement, different parts of them stop at different times
- Slow in and slow out- gaining momentum and speeding up + the exact opposite while stopping 7.Arc- the path a character moves
- Secondary action- things like hair moving and facial expressions changing
-
- Timing- things should move at the speed they do in the real world
- Exaggeration- it gives more life to the character and makes is more enjoyable to watch
- Solid drawing- the understanding of anatomy, weight, volume, light, shadows, etc.
- Appeal- strong character design
