It is always recommended that we plan out what we are going to do in small thumbnail sketches. Then we make the big drawings-the story telling drawing, the keys. Then we put in any other important drawings that have to be there, like anticipation or where hands or feet contact things, the extremes, now we have the structure just we had with the pose to pose system.
But now we use these keys and important extremes as guides for things and places we want to aim at. After you get your overall poses go again. Do one thing at a time, we will work straight ahead on top of these guideposts improvising freely as we go along.
We will do several straight runs on different parts, taking the most important things first. we may have to change and revise parts of the keys and extremes as we go along rubbing bits off and re-drawing or replacing them. so we make a straight ahead run on the primary thing, then secondary and goes on.
Advantages of The combination of straight ahead and pose to pose
- Working this way combines the structural planing of working from pose to pose with the natural free flow of the straight ahead approach.
- Its a balancing between planing and spontaneity
- None that i know of.........
