This is how I generally refer to the 12 Principles of Animation when teaching to new students.

What do you think of the updated language I use?

Is planning and drawing standing in for "draftsmanship?"

If so, I refer to that principle as "tools competence" since many animators don't draw for work these days (although I'm old enough that I will still make some sketches of poses when I'm starting a new animation)

Ah so that's kinda combining 'Pose to Pose and Straight Ahead' and 'Solid Drawing' - I find the original term a bit stuffy and long, especially if part of the process is to plan your drawings in some way as it is.
And I think "solid drawing" maybe can be simply summed up as "drawing" these days.

This seems like a very intuitive way to teach the principles! I like it. I am a bit sentimental though and I like the number 12 so I am still partial to that method even if it's definitely less intuitive to learn

I appreciate that they are a culmination of best practices for the time animation was pioneered, so it's good to keep that in mind. However I do think it's good to re-appropriate the language and processes for modern techniques.
