This approach allows coexistence between the animator and the animated beings (and is the workflow I prefer most).
It allows a very organic feel to movement and the ability to tap into something very elusive beyond surface techniques.
Here, (during animating), distance between drawings aim to reflect some sense of changing speed to movement through the increasing or decreasing gap between drawings. The gap is also close enough to establish a comfortable flow to movement visually while rolling the drawings.

(Above, selected extremes after the initial rough pass; the remaining rough drawings are to be discarded.)
Because sense of velocity can be felt during animating, the animator has a more accurate projection to squash and stretch of forms, allowing a more intimate reflection to animated life.
This workflow tent to arrive at more extremes than the others and has very cohesive relation between each other toward unfolding motion.

(Selected extremes is to be tie-down in second pass, with all desired corrections to be implement. New inbetweens are to be added based on these tie-down extremes for better evaluation before sending to clean-up.)
