well there's not a whole lot there
however your problem is that you have the rough frames now, but you haven't messed with timing. think of slow ins and slow outs. watch yourself when you lift your foot as if you're about to step on something. the middle part of the motion is the fastest, then as your knee reaches its peak, you begin to slow down. start spreading them out in 2's, then 4's, 8's and maybe even 16's as you reach the last frame or two.

messing with timing is essential to almost any rough animation - nobody gets it right the first time. keep moving your frames until it plays out and feels right to you

Doesn't seem like you understood rtil. You didn't do the easing thing.

But I've posted this in another topic once before, it can be useful in this topic as well.

The way the ball animation is made works for other animation too. You just need to understand the easing. I'm not going to repeat what rtil said though. you simply have to keep trying until you get it right.

on its way.. you know not to try and poke into other things but as a whole the rough animation is lacking a lot of dynamism. his entire body is completely still except for that one leg. think about all the motions your body could make in that lift up to make it more interesting
