Life drawing for the purposes of Animation as opposed to Fine art is fundamentally different. For Fine Art, the lines, the details and the shading are some of the elements that are prioritized in practice whereas for Animation, weight, anatomy and the overall feeling of the movement of the body is the skill to master. It is important to observe how the body holds it's balance, where weight is distributed in certain positions as well as through movement, and how the muscles look through these movements.
