Today, I finished up rounding some of the edges on the first frame of the animation, mainly on the legs because that is where it was needed most.

After I finished that, I went on to the second frame, and put on the onion layer so I could see the frame before it, and draw it accordingly.Starting with the head and torso using the pen tool exclusively.

I did the head and torso first because I knew that those would remain the same throughout the vast majority of the rough animation. After I did the torso and head, I went on to the legs, which I just about completed. I still have to redraw the feet because I don't really like them, and they don't really fit the last frame.

So you can see that the running animation has been progressing, and once I finish the feet and arms, I will colour it in as I did with the first. I am working on these at just under a frame a class, and I am gonna see about getting around 10-15 frames for the full animation and run that at the desirable FPS which I am thinking will be around 24 frames per second. 

Next class, I will be working on the feet, and arms. Then I will be coloring the body in with the basic palette as well, just like I did with the first frame. Then if I have time, move on to the third frame, and see where I can go with that with the time I have left.
