End of discussion. This thread is for beginners to post their animation and the seniors to evaluate their success according to the rules of constructive criticism only.

when you punch you dont do a full half swing backwards then swing forward. (im being realistic here) you pull back and push forward. I usually just act it out in real life, and get the pivot as close to that as possible

i did it to add more force to the animation and also something that every1 doesnt do but animates is that punch and none of its really realistic because in real life ppl punch with their arms in front of them but when animating ppl make them punch with the arms coming from behind them

The walking is choppy, he should bend his back. Also it lacks easing.
The ball bounces way too much. At the second bounce it lacks easing.

Well since i came back from my ban, woot. I decided to do a walk which i've gotten better at. (thank you practice. Oh and Zed for what i needed to work on.) i dunno if it's any better but might as well try right?

The back leg on the first step wobbled a bit. Always keep the legs moving forward. Never put a limb backwards a little when it's going forward.
The second step was good, but the foot slid a bit, unless it's ice, or slippery floor.

well it's hard to judge how far the legs will go, but that's what practice is for.

Okay. For a newcomer, you are exceptional. Let me give you a list of things to improve on.
Shrinking your frames. All your animations are huge. Every animator saves their animation with a 2 or a 3 in the shrink frames section, when saving as a .gif. It removes the pixely look and the animation generally looks better.
Foot placements. When a character moves, his feet remain in the same place, unless he slides his foot or he lifts it up. So, when you jump for example, you want his feet to not move around on the ground, until he jumps up.
Stiffness. Move every joint in every frame. When you walk, move the back and bob the head. When you punch, move the legs, etc.

How the **** did you do that?

I've never seen an upload site accept anything but 16fps. Your 19 and 21 look identical but there's definitely at least three speeds there.
