Animating question
So I've been thinking about getting into animation, perhaps doing it on youtube. If you want an idea of what kind of thing I'm looking at, google animatics. I've been practicing drawing characters, and I understand the basic idea of how these things work, but I don't know how you make it look like the characters you draw have emotions. I mean, how do you make the characters look sad, happy, angry, etc? I notice other creators can do it and it's deeper than just the shape of their mouth.

My husbands daughter went to school for CG degree, computer graphics. She was good before she even got into the school. She had to complete assigned art projects turned into the school that were quality work before they would even let her attend. This is the natural talent they wanted to refine so the kids could go on to find the kind of jobs like working for WaltDisney, Pixar, Dreamworks, etc.
What i am trying to say is that unless a person who has gone to school for CG or any other animation happens to be an advice giver on this site, is seeing your question and can somehow explain in words without you being shown, then you will get what you want to know. That however is a slim chance. To target asking a person who might have an idea, start watching the animations on you tube, c g or whatever that a person has posted of their own work, make a comment below and leave your email asking them the same you asked here. Either they will answer or they won't. But if you do the same for a bunch of different animation related video posters, one of those posters should be able to give you some hints. Other than that, if not just for fun or a hobby but more serious, You might check into the different schools offering degrees on animation.
