Animating from Pencil to PC: Rough Motion Sketches

The first thing you need to start off sketching is your starting pose with your non-photo-blue pencil; you don’t want to do detailed drawings. Just keep in mind the basic proportions from your character sheet, and draw just enough to establish your character’s pose, position, and the space he or she will take up. We’re going to be redrawing this too many times to do detail every time, and this first stage allows for a lot of trial and error so you can preview the basics of your motion and correct any visible problems before moving on to further detail.
