Cody's Animation Work Thread

Re: Cody's Animation Work Thread
Thanks for the tips, beat and break. I know about some of those, I did some 2d animation in college, but it's been a while. I don't follow or know of any good animation sites, but haven't looked. Have been having some trouble finding ref, however, did find one good one on youtube. Back to work on the jog....awaaaayyyyy. -
