For animators, life drawing is not just about portraying the human figure accurately and understanding their anatomy, bone structure, and muscles through observations, but also about taking into consideration of the continuity of movements of the subject. Parr stressed the importance of details in sequence of actions for an outcome in animation, and to be aware of such details an animator must pay attention and understand 'stage craft, time and spatial awareness'. The bodily actions tends to be expressive, thus to animate well, an animator must have to take into account how emotions can affect movements in the animation to grasp the audience's attention. Early animators uses exaggeration to deliver a balanced and convincing performance. Nowadays, exaggeration is not as apparent in animated films as cutting edge animation software allows animators to make slick and realistic character movement. Nonetheless, it is still important for us, animators, to keep sketches and drawings to account the emotional temperatures of reflection and force to deliver the best 'performance' from our drawings.
