Now that I can finally put up links, here is an animation I made. Took me about an hour.

I think it is my best one that I have made yet.

I will continually keep putting up animations on this thread. Maybe....

Put down a line so you don't have your stick guy walking all over the place. Use the grid to make sure you have all the body parts proportioned correctly.

This is going to sound very nooby, but how do I put on the grid?

Hey, not bad. You need to fix the wobblyness though, which means smaller movements and a closer look at what you're doing. Do you use Onion skin?

zoom in when you draw sticks, it'll make the sticks smaller, and the backgrounds will be somewhat bigger

Work while the grid is on, when your animating, it helps keep trck of stuff.

Are you using the onion skinning?
That's all I ever use to make animations, I never really tried the grid.

You seem to put effort into your animations. So I've taken my time to help you get better. I made this quick guide to show you how you can make your sticks look better, cleaner, and smoother.

Here are some GENERAL guidelines to helping you animate and draw better stick figures. The more you practice the better you'll become.

Here you go.

Thanks! Alot!!

@ daneximuz- Nope, no vcam. And yep, I always use onion skin.

@ Aklemo- I shall be putting up another edited one, that is (hopefully) better, and on a different site.
