TANGENTS!


I like

There's a

For instance,

Chris Schweizer's
Guide to Spotting Tangents


The long line is when a line from one object runs directly 
into the line of another.  This is the tangent that everybody knows.

tangents in comics,
but these rules apply to
animation

and layout, too.

 that comes back from overseas studios
and finding ways to fix problems like these:




This is just a teeny taste

To see the whole post
and really go on a 
TANGENT SAFARI
head on over
