Đối với bài tập này, do đó, chỉ là người đầu tiên "xuống" vẽ chân trước và đặt nó trên chốt của bạn (điều này là vẽ 1, trong ví dụ của tôi). Bây giờ, với một tờ giấy riêng biệt của các chốt ở trên này (và số N-1, với N đứng cho cổ), vẽ cổ và vị trí hàm, tăng nhẹ liên quan đến cơ thể (xem hình sau). | How to Make Animated Films I ve drawn this in a very mechanical way to illustrate the point but in your own action you might want to add side-to-side action on the head or even a slight swaying from side to side to give it more fluidity. Again trial and error is the best way of knowing what works and what doesn t. First the Neck Action For this exercise therefore take just the first down front leg drawing and place it on your pegs this is drawing 1 in my example . Now with a new and separate sheet of paper on the pegs above this and numbered N-1 with N standing for neck draw the neck and jaw position slightly up in relation to the body see the following figure . This is a very mechanical approach to get the point across. For more fluidity you might try a slight twist in the neck as it moves up and down or maybe a little more flexibility in its shape in general. 120 Quadruped Walks This is the most economic and safe way of working here. However if you are trying to save on the number of levels you need to use like the body you can draw this action onto the actual front legs drawing that your are referencing as I have done. However if you need to make changes you will find that the original drawing can get really messy if you repeatedly correct things. Now take the front legs up position 5 and add the neck to a new sheet overlay N-5 and draw the neck slightly down. Other factors to reckon with for this kind of action are the placement of the legs and the angle of the shoulders beneath the neck. In this drawing the legs are straight and vertical but in your animation you will probably find all kinds of variations to their positioning. Consequently you will have to balance the neck action in accordance to how the underlying body is supporting it. Finally in-between the neck for the other front legs positions and pencil test the result. You should see the neck slightly delaying its movement to the up and down of the front body action. If you are using separate levels .
