Easy shapes/ lines that leads you through the animation

Hello there, seen a tag on Twitter #starttofinish and l wanted to make an animation and showing how l generally begin it. There it was with a simple line going left to right with regular pacing.

It's interesting to see that this only line could help me to know the space l will use on my plan, how tall my character will be and also what motion the character will be able to manage, this action is simple but l could make something else still using the same line.

It's good to have the motion right even before begining to animate a character, it helps you to stay on track and advance without too much to think :)

Other shapes like balls or squares are also pretty nice to use, if l have some time l will be sure to try to stream this so you can see it directly.

Hope those few explanations to this example can help many :)
