Features: Animation is a discipline with strong professionalism and marginality, representing a high integration of knowledge from various fields such as technology, film and television, and painting. In an animated film, the key to its success lies in the drawing design, and mastering the fundamentals of drawing is one of the essential prerequisites for future animation creation. As an animation designer, the required drawing skills are highly demanding. The requirements for (characteristic creation ability) should differ from general painting creation. Characters in animation must be vividly and comprehensively active in three-dimensional space, with character designs needing to consider all angles and aspects. Clearly, for animation students' sketch training, a teaching system suitable for their major should be established. Therefore, we propose "Animation Sketch," aiming to design a set of training methods tailored to the characteristics of animation, truly enabling students' training to serve as a stepping stone for a smooth transition to future animation creation and design, and truly making the sketch training process more effective for future creation and design.
