Pick up animation


Another animation practice. This time we are to animate a simple character picking up a heavy object. The character must show that they are struggling to pick up the object. 
This took me sometime to get the character poster right. Mostly  the pauses and the body position. I draft out the character's back position, how it will straighten up as it stands still and bends over when they are tryin g to pick up the rock. What i need to practice more is keeping the character's shape and size constant as well as the character's positions on the same height because the feet seems to be in a different level each time I animate it . Suppose I need to draw the background line just to keep the character in check and makes sure that they dont look like they are walking on air.
