Steps Pt.2

 A continuation of what I've done. I took Alan's advice and rewatched my reference footage, then drew the movements to the best of my ability through memory once I was confident I'd got the motion down. It was genuinely a lot faster, I managed to half my work time and still got more frames in than before. But speed is also coming with practise. I said in the meeting, generally, for still images, a strong suit of mine is being able to draw quickly. I was definitely trying too hard to have everything perfect right away, even though this is the first time I've done this, which slowed me down considerably. I don't know why I took a different approach to drawing movement than my usual drawing style, which is very quick, sketchy, messy- I think I'm just used to seeing very polished animation I thought there was no room for my style. By eye, I thought I'd done awfully and it really bummed me out, but after photographing what I'd done it didn't look as bad as I thought. Still painfully slow and clunky though, need to figure out how to fix that. Below is my embarassing reference footage of myself I've been working from.
