Strutting along a path – This shows all 8 drawings as an example to study. It should help new animators to see how much the poses change from one drawing to the next, compared to how the sequence PLAYS in real time.

This is an 8-pose Looping cycle that uses the features of the program ToonBoom to move the figure diagonally upward, while the movements cycle. This makes the figure appear to propel itself up the slope. Sneaky, right??

Other times I have used a simple STICK FIGURE human on skis, just to keep things simple. But it's a fun challenge for folks to try a more complex figure, and Squid anatomy actually allows greater Latitude than some critters.

Andrea Chan of Scholastic, Inc., contacted me to re-do some off-model Clifford scenes someone had delivered. As I delivered the first few sequences, She inquired if I could also do a 3D carousel for the select screen.

Goofy Roman Soldier 8-drawing Walk Cycle, companion to a loose, sketchy Scribbledy ROUGH animation, to show students that the crude roughs can be sufficient for designing a piece, if you do a good job on Clean-up.

Sketchy Rough figure drawings for comparison to the finished "Cleaned Up" figure drawings. By doing loose scribbledy sketchy drawings I can do these and CHANGE them much faster than precious careful drawings.
