05 Head Turn with Anticipation

This video shares tips on creating animation of a character's head turning with a bit of anticipation at the beginning. This is in reference to the "51 Great Animation Exercises to Master" challenge found on Animator Island. If you have some free time, check it out: www.animatorisland.com/51-gre...
The goal of this video is to communicate how use organization and drawing strategies to when attempting to animate a head turn. Don't forget to review the Arcs and Anticipation Principles of Animation when attempting this. This is also a good time to combine techniques of straight ahead and pose to pose animation.

Man I love your videos, I´ve been doing your animation exercises they´re super easy to understand and straight to the point. I wish I had found them earlier.

This rotation anticipation was confusing, could've used a subtle rotation on the opposite direction first 😅

Kinda agree with you! However, the mechanics and concepts all track when doing subtle or complex animation. Hang in there....we're all learning together!
