Animation 12 FPS: It is the most used way of animating, being in a 24 frames per second video format, each frame is repeated.

Animation 24 FPS: Only use in situations where you need more detail or more speed.

Animation - Timing Charts / 24 FPS
Animation - Timing Charts / 12 FPS

Animation - Timing Charts / 12 FPS

 

Most animations typically use 12 FPS in a 24 FPS video format, which causes each frame of the animation to repeat.

• 1 Second = 12 frames
• 1 Frame = 0.08333... seconds
• 1 Keyframe every 6 frames
• 2 Timing charts = 1 second

I prepared a second example to notice that although the timing charts have different effects, the time that the animation takes place is exactly the same.

The dot indicates the beginning of each frame, the space between each line has a duration of 0.08333... seconds.

I have put together 4 timing charts of 12 FPS equivalent to two seconds to clearly see how they work.

Animation - Timing Charts / 24 FPS

 

I spent a couple of days experimenting with animation and created this little GIF to show the different timing charts.
 

• 1 Second = 24 frames
• 1 Frame = 0.04166... seconds
• 1 Keyframe every 6 frames
• 4 Timing charts = 1 second

Body Proportions / 8 Heads

 

The application of this rule isn't always exact; it's an approximation for creating aesthetics, as head size tends to vary between individuals and the drawing styles of each artist

 

The method consists of dividing the body into eight sections with percentages of 12.5% between each division and paying special attention to the place where the pelvis ends, which is approximately 50% of the human body.

Tipo de pie: griego

Head References 1 & 2

 

I use these references to design my characters; from there, I make small or large changes, such as modifying the drawing style, facial features, complexion, wrinkles, scars, tattoos, hair, etc.

Utilizo estas referencias para diseñar mis personajes; a partir de ahí, realizo pequeños o grandes cambios, como modificar el estilo de dibujo, rasgos faciales, complexión, arrugas, cicatrices, tatuajes, cabello, etc.

 

Pose References 8, 9 & 10

 

I use these poses for character creation. You can use them as references, even modify their anatomy as needed for your drawing style, such as slimming down their body, increasing their musculature, lengthening their limbs, enlarging their head, etc.

Utilizo estas poses para la creación de personajes. Puedes usarlas como referencias, incluso modificar su anatomía según sea necesario para tu estilo de dibujo, como adelgazar su cuerpo, aumentar su musculatura, alargar sus extremidades, agrandar su cabeza, etc.

 

Pose References 1, 2 & 3

 

These references are free to use. I use them to design my characters, but you can modify their anatomy and adjust them to your drawing style.

Estas referencias son de uso libre. Yo las utilizo para diseñar mis personajes, pero puedes modificar su anatomía y ajustarlos a tu estilo de dibujo.
