Pretty good, i would just suggest some more animation on the hips and chest, feels very robotic right now but I do like the animation on the arms and hands, very clean.

Hi Alpert,

I recommend you to use video references. Record yourself with a video-camera, and you will discover how many things you're missing in your animation.

Hi Alpert,
You have a very static scene with small, slow reserved movement. If this is what you are going for then great, but if you are inspired by other animators and how much they move their characters and with great success, then be bolder and try getting it in your scenes.

I would also agree with the recommendation of filming reference and watching it with a keen eye. When your character turns toward the table, all the parts of the body seem to do it at once, the leg lags behind a little which is nice but I think its just a frame or so, try pushing it a bit.

Good start, and you have some good motion in there.
