<P>hi all,</P>
<P>after a long discussion here, i was convinced that no matter 2d or 3d animator i want to be i must learn to draw and animate traditionally,</P>
<P>so i have my scanner and animation disc and software for pencil tests.<BR>i have rolled up my sleeves but wait......</P>
<P>i am from computers background so i am quite well with all 3d softwares:<BR>maya, max and also scripting like technical things.<BR>but i dont have idea about exactly how 2d animators animate?</P>
<P>how they approach drawings on animation discs?<BR>how they do numberings on them?<BR>how to use an X sheet?<BR>i have animators survival kit, timing for animation and animation from script to screen, so thats good.</P>
<P>but i really want guidance about how to do hands on an animation piece.<BR>i would be greatfull if anyone can give step by step method.</P>
<P>and ya one more thing, i have found lot of exercise that should be done to make a good animation reel but i want list of exercises about how to begin in animation.</P>
<P>so thanks in advance any reply from traditional animators will be helpful.</P>
<P>and about my drawing skills : i am practising "natural way to draw".</P>
<P>Thank you very much again... !</P>
