Right so we have moved on from ball bounces and are now doing walk cycles, using the same method as before, I have done walk cycles before one on flash and the other in Blender 3d, I shall put a link to both on this blog.
The one in flash was ok, it started of as a stick man but I thought I'd Jazz it up a little by making the stick man into a zombie...as you do! I realise now that the legs move much to fast as I only used 8 frames, for two steps.
you can look at that one here
The Blender one was pretty much a disaster now I look back on it. I over exaggerated the steps plus the foot goes through the box the character is standing on you can look at the 3d one here
I have started on my first hand drawn one but I am already noticing problems where the arms aren't the right length and the legs are thinner in some frames than others, hopefully as they will be on for a grande total of 1/25th of a second it will not stick out too much, but I intend to continue anyway because at least it will give me a good idea of ways to improve

Bouncing Ball
Well here we are, the bouncing ball, the start of the beginning, so we were told to do a bouncing ball and to keep a blog of everything we do (well animation wise ;) ), so here I am writing about a bouncing ball...anyway we have to use the traditional 2d method of drawing on pieces of paper to make the ball bounce (its surprising how hard it is to draw 20 balls that are all roughly the same size), I have done 3 ball bounces and one ball roll. The ball role file doesn't work though, and neither does one of the ball bounces, because I pressed the wrong button on the export screen which is a shame because it had a smiling face on it and a bird on the bottom...it was fun! So I only have two to show.
The one on the top is the final one, the bottom one was a practice that was ok but I didn't like how it suddenly stopped...the final one is ok if not a little bit too bouncy...but to be honest I could probably spend a whole year doing bouncing balls and never make one I like!
