In this video, I'm going to show you:
• How to use foreshortening and rounding to give your characters more dimensionality,
• How to use FK to do cross-body moves and ‘break the joints’ just like traditional 2D animation.
• The importance of arcs from different parts of the character's body.
• How to get wave and whip motion through your limbs for weight and fluidity.
