Notes: until you can post links, just exclude the www. and we'll just fix it for you.
Also google TRuploader and use the first thing that comes up. simple good flash website.

It's qquite wobbly. You'll want to stick close to the onionskin.
It's good. I'm a bit tired to scan it for errors, but if you keep practicing you're definitely on the right track.

edit: the TRuploader is much cleaner, better quality because it uses a flash player rather than the shitty Youtube quality. It doesn't take very long to upload a swf file. it mostly depends on your computer and connection, doesn't it?

Oh sorry. I should have realized.
Wobbly means as you redrew or remade the graphics of each frame the lines or shape change, making a ripply wobbly contour throughout your animation.

pay close attention to the onion skin, make the head an object and tween it if you haven't done so already, use a smaller brush. That and practice will eliminate wobble.

what's the difference of using a smaller brush besides making the stick thinner?

if I used a smaller brush... my stick looks like an octopus... having wiggly arms and legs... well i guess practice will make it perfect...

The use of a gigantic brush makes all of the little imperfections you have multiple times more obvious.

If you can't use a big brush and the smaller brush is too detailed for you you can go mid-way. That or use a bigger brush and be very careful with your wobbliness, go back in the frames and edit with your eraser.

I'd recommend starting over, it's one of my favorite things to do. The more you do, the better you get, also.
