Animating from Pencil to PC II: Rough Detail Sketches

By Adrien-Luc Sanders, About.com

Once you’re done, you should have a rough detail sketch of your first in-between. Now, just like last time, you have to do it again between this in-between and the two keys. And again. And again. And again, until you’ve done the rough detail sketches for your entire animation. Good luck.

Remember that if, at any point, you’re in doubt about your animated motion…you can actually use your light table like a flip book, by making sure that the tops of the sheets are anchored properly before fanning through your pages in order to watch them zip past to let you get a basic idea of how the motion looks.

When you're done with that, move on to the lesson on retracing and line weight.
