yeah... I guess comment on my technique?

It's bad quality on the video so here's the actual animation so far. Don't ask.

Yep, you have an unusual style of animating, but it is smooth like jawz said. In the future, spend more time on foot placement so they aren't randomly jittering.

well. You need to learn the basic structure of a stick. That guys torso was huge. Try drawing the torso and legs first instead of just the torso then the legs. That movement is really odd and unnecessary. Work on basic things like runs, flips, climbing, etc etc. Keep practicing. :3

i suggest you don't animate one limb at a time. learn how to do every limb at once and you'll get exponentially better from there

when I first started animating like that it struck me as much easier, so I kept doing it. I'm trying to get out of the habit.
