Animation Basics begins

So, as the first assignment, I need to begin sketching. It was suggested that I go to a park or a mall or the beach, bring along a sketchbook and to sketch what I saw. Not detailed drawings, but rough sketches or thumbnails. The idea is to get the “gestures” of people and to hone my “observation” skills. Did I see how the feet were planted when that lady was pushing the cart or picking up her child? What was the shape of her back? Did her head go up first as she picked up her child? Etc, etc. I will try and post some of the sketches if I can.
