One of my first, it's part of a big animation meme I'm planning for my birthday. Critique anything at all, cartoony humans have never been my speciality, but since my New Year's resolution is to learn animation and learn humans, I figured I'd make something at the beginning of the year to compare to the end of 2019! I thought I'd complete it for my birthday since January 15 is pretty special this year Yes, that's supposed to be me. I know the animation's really short, but still XD I have another one finished, but I don't have the link rn, I'll try to get it up later. orig00.deviantart.net/b906/f/2018/365/a/7/ack_by_thatsnomoon607-dcvtqcc.gifBe as harsh as you want!! I really don't care if you're straight up insulting me, as long as you're honest. If it's something I can improve on, whether it be smoothness, conveying emotion better, or style, let me know!

This is really good! I'm not much of an animator myself, it's too hard rip But I would say to make sure you keep everything a consistent size. The cheek changes a bit in size and shape and it's noticeable.

Ye kinda adding on to what Spark said, I'm noticing the shirt's lines drastically change, so make sure to keep an eye out for continuity. Her boobs and cheek noticeably switch from being sharp angles to curved.

Borker Thank you!! I hoped it would <33 ππππππππππππ aCK I didn't catch that, in the last frame her cheek is kinda off by a lot, I'll make sure to change that!! Nochi Clothing I'm especially bad at, I'll smooth out the lines! And yea the boobs I had a million different layers under it so I'm not to suprised the lines were to sharp. Thanks for the tips!

With the first animation. It looks good and you've go a lot of movement for a simple shot which is good. The only things I'm bothered by is the cheek expanding and the scarf movements as to me they seem to just.. Have folds for having folds and don't seem to keep consistent? I hope that wasn't too harsh to hear and if it was I apologize. You're doing well with these. The effort is clear.

Ah, also true! That's probably a consequence of me not fixing the whole face when I was adjusting the jawline. Thanks so much for commenting!!

not too bad. two things you'll want to consider here are squash and stretch as well as secondary and overlapping action. The basic movement is very similar to a ball bounce so I'd advise treating it as such. Then you'll have some overlapping action with the hair and clothes, right now they follow along with the bounce of the character, but they should be have almost as separate entities. Consider what your hair does when you jump and what your clothes do.

I did watch a few tutorials how squash and stretch, but really didn't do it, bc I was afraid of just warping the character, instead of adding believable stretch, if that makes sense?? Thank you for commenting!

So long as the mass is maintained it will look fine. Doing it too much would just result in a more exaggerated animation which isn't a bad thing, it just depends on how exaggerated you want it to be.
