CARTOON ANIMATION - by Preston BLAIR

HERE ARE THE EXTREMES OF A 24-DRAWING SKIP CYCLE. THE MISSING DRAWINGS ARE IN-BETWEENS (DRAWINGS SPACED EVENLY BETWEEN THE EXTREMES). THE EXCEPTIONS ARE STEPS 12 AND 24. NOTICE THE CHARTS (CALLOUTS AND NUMBERS) EXPLAINING THE UNEVEN SPACING ON THESE DRAWINGS. INSTEAD OF BEING SPACED EVENLY BETWEEN STEPS 11 AND 13, IS 1/3 OF THE WAY (CLOSER TO 11), THE SAME THING HAPPENS WITH 24, WHICH IS 1/3 OF THE WAY BETWEEN STEPS 23 AND 1. DRAWING 24 COMPLETES THE CYCLE.

THE BODY AND THE HANDS IN THE SKIP ARE THE SAME AS IN THE RUN. THE
DIFFERENCE IS IN THE ACTION OF THE FOOT THAT PUSHES THE BODY OFF THE
GROUND AND THEN RAISES IN AN ARC AND CONTACTS THE GROUND FIRST.
THE CROSS MARKS ABOVE AND BELOW EACH DRAWING ARE REGISTRATION MARKS.
TRACE EACH DRAWING ON A SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER-MAKING SURE THE CROSSES OVERLAP THEN FLIP THE DRAWINGS AND STUDY THE ACTION.
