I just want to post that I have been struggling for a bit with learning traditional paper animation. I read and watched animators survival kit and it really didn't help basic planning keys and inbetweening and maintaining volume and interesting breakdowns. It touches on some of everything but not enough.
Then I went to preston blairs book and realised I have to break my characters down into basic skeleton, shapes and forms to maintain arcs and volume. But still no actual animation help.
Then I found Eric Goldbergs Animation Crash Course and it is really the link between the two above books.
I dismissed it initially because it looks like chinese disney ripoff but the author animated the genie in aladdin, which is basically peak renaissance to me.
It covers everything you want to know about drawing for animation, planning keys, inbetweening, doing interesting breakdowns and all in multiple styles. Can't recommend it enough. Even good for anime people if you have an open mind and adapt it to your style.
search for it on b-ok.cc for a pdf.
