Features: Dynamic is a compulsory basic course for animation majors in universities. This book is the first dedicated monograph on dynamic in film and television animation in China, authored by an individual with extensive and profound experience in both creation and teaching. The techniques presented in the book revolutionize traditional animation teaching methods. Dynamic differs from general sketching, which only emphasizes capturing objects quickly and accurately within a short time. Instead, it refers to mastering sketching techniques and applying them to depict characters from various angles and poses, particularly focusing on capturing typical actions in movement, thereby achieving the goal of rapidly expressing objects. The book consists of seven chapters: Understanding the Human Body, Grasping the Moving Human Body, Techniques of Dynamic, Life Drawing of Continuous Motion, Silent Life Drawing of Continuous Motion, Forms of Motion in Continuous Motion, and Character Dynamic and Spatial Scene Design. The primary task of Dynamic is to train students to observe from an animation perspective, develop keen observation skills for dynamic forms, quickly and accurately capture the characteristics and motion tendencies of objects from different angles and positions, master the ability to silently depict various motion tendencies, and further enhance the ability to generalize, exaggerate, and create images. This helps students directly enter animation creation in their future studies and overcome difficulties in depicting animation characters.
