Fun fact tho! This animation is one of the best beginner friendly techniques to do when you want to practice the 12 principles of animation, which was created during the 1930’s by the leading animation artists at Walt Disney. They are the core foundation for the animations you all know and love today, ranging from classic, western style Mickey Mouse to Japanese animations like Demon Slayer or Jujustu Kaisen.
The 12 Principles of Animation are:
1. Squash and Stretch
2. Anticipation
3. Staging
4. Straight Ahead & Pose to Pose
5. Follow through and overlapping action
