Description

This was mostly intended to be a bounce study I guess. But animating a boncing ball is so boring. xD Poor Shuu tho...
This was also my first time trying to animate effects like smoke etc. Need more practice!

I know the animation is waaaaay too fast atm.. I'll fix it someday. D;

28 Frames - Photoshop CS5 - 1 day, dunno how many hours tho.

Chuu! Your animation is getting progressively better! This doesn't feel like a 'ball' bounce, or a bounce in general. You need to add more feeling of weight to your character. Hover him/her in the air on the first bounce for a couple more frames and then work on delaying the rise at the end. Give it a little bit of a drag forward as well!

You are really getting better from the first animation I can see on DA. However, weight has been a prominent problem in your work! Try a boring ball bounce and such, first. Those will give you a good sense of how heavy it might be, while not focusing too much on the motion of the character/ ball/ etc.! Good luck!
