Moving hold in animation:
Moving hold is when a character stays in the same pose for a beat, with only marginal movement. This provides a visual break from continuous action, which helps read the poses more clearly.
Stillness is just as important as movement!
Moving holds add readability and realism to your work.
Without them, the animation will feel rushed and have no particular point of focus.
