Drawing moving objects is a whole different challenge compared to drawing things that hold still. Sometimes I like to analyze a common motion such as putting on a jacket by drawing different stages of the action.

Here I'm looking for the long curving lines describing the forms. I draw these with simple, graceful strokes of the sable brush. (from The Artist's Guide to Sketching)
This is really cool to think about, maybe in an animation it is easier to convey the idea of movement, but when we only have one frame to indicate it, I believe that the choices need to be more conscious.
