Answers: How do you study animation gesture and rhythm in Blender?

• Animation gesture drawing
• Line of action in animation
• C-curve and straight lines in posing
• Using Blender for 2D animation studies

What it concludes

• Gesture drawing is a thinking-intensive process rather than a labor-intensive process.
• C-curves are good at communicating casual gestures, while straight lines are good at showing weight, exertion, or tension.
• A successful gesture drawing feels like the pose more than it looks like the pose.
