Description
Basic things I keep in mind while animating. I hope some of you find these useful ^^Books about animation I've read:
-"Cartoon Animation" by Preston Blair (Nice, colorful and simple :3)
-"The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams (Best for creative walk cycles :] Also, easy to read)
-"Timing For Animation" by Whitaker, Halas, Sito (More about timing things and more theoretical)

Thank you so much!! That's what I want to know about animation timing. Near = slow... Far = fast... Finally I found this great tutorial!!

I heard about the survival kit, i love to buy that one. something i usually fail is in hair animation or rotate animations, but i still havenΒ΄t the oportunity to do animation works. To do a smooth animation really takes time. For now i work with flash. But i like to do frame to frame in PSD.

That's one of the best books 
I rotate things because it's easier XD I mean, when something is not in the same position in the next frame you don't notice the little errors you would notice if it was somehow stationary 8'D
Give it a try when you can
