2d animation - punch
Hello there. I'm trying to make some 2d animations for a game im working on. Its going to be in pixel format later so details are not needed.. I had problems with making the cape look good. What can I do to improve the animation? -
Re: 2d animation - punch
i'm hardly a 2d animator, but i was messing around with a trial of toonboom a while back and did these. one thing i liked to do was exagerate motion, and move more than just the key body parts, i started first with a scribbly loose test then filled it in as i went. also watch out with being too subtle, something should… -

I would suggest moving him back, or shortening his arm a little bit so that you can get a quick over-extended frame. I agree with what everyone else has said. I don't want to detract from your work, so I'll just link.. This is the animation I made when working on mighty fist, I wanted to make sure he used his whole body,… -

Also, its worth noting that what he's doing at the moment is a cross-punch. A jab would use his other arm. (at least according to the position of his feet) For a short, quick attack, a jab is generally considered better, and provides longer reach. (again, based on the way his feet are set) -
Re: 2d animation - punch
He needs to use his whole body in the motion to get maximum strength behind that punch. Try throwing a punch in front of a mirror yourself. The body definately needs to twist more. Check out some referenses. I bet you can find some on youtube or whatever. EDIT. Check this one out. Punch on youtube
