YES! Congratz bruh I like it, i honestly have to say, i prefer the sloppy work rather than the clean edit idk why....
Anyway, i like it and what's with the big canvas? o.O

idk man...

It's good to see that you've found you're weakness and are now working on fixing it.

You found that you should be focusing on movements more, just keep in mind that you should be always thinking of the final picture as a whole while you're focusing on one piece of your method at a time.

...to make that seem a bit more visual, say this is your process:

movements > sketch backgrounds > clean up > colorize > paint/finalize backgrounds> etc.}

Now, all this without thinking of your final piece throughout your methods = something you totally were not visualizing at all

So to fix that, I find that sketching down that quick scene or idea onto a piece of paper or in a quick painter document, whatever you got, (if it's a bit more of a sequence, that's what storyboarding's for) it doesn't have to be too complex, something that'll just help remind you of that idea you pictured so well at the time it was fresh. This will continue to keep that idea fresh in your head throughout your methods of animating.

It's all about wiping that window as spotless as you can possibly get it so your audience can have a clear vision into your head!


...but when it comes to thinking of the final picture, that's up to you.

*Echoes Steeze *

...personally, as I got deeper and deeper into the production process, I started thinking in terms of the big picture and how every background concept plays into making something like an animation or full drawing of someone. I realize how important concepts are when making life-life chars and scenes and whatnot. Assume the past and present, the story, environment - everything that a human could react to - and have it affect the human appropriately.
...now my new obstacle is that I barely start anything until I have full backgrounds behind it.

well steeze my MAIN weakness is faces / character animation haha
