I like the second half, the punch and your name appearing. I think maybe lose the waving arms at the beginning. It doesn’t flow into the punch very well. Just my thoughts anyway :smiley:

thanks a tone! any suggestions on what to do instead?

The most important part behind any animation is story. (Maybe even behind any drawing of a figure) Come up with a story instead of random movements, some logical combination of poses to capture interest, even if it is only a few seconds long. The timing looks good though!

very good advice im considering changing the character all together, thanks for the input :slight_smile:

You could study some manga poses, if that’s the style your going for? Once you have an idea of the action you could act out the moves in front of a mirror or even better a video camera.

I’ve only just started learning animation properly myself. A very good book that everybody recommends is ‘The Animators Survival Kit - Richard Williams’ There’s a link here to the website The Animator’s Survival Kit It’s helped me to understand animation a lot .

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
