Jumping Tutorial (Basic Movements 3)

Jumping is a very easy movement, it can be done in almost any position, you just have to ease to stick man downward and propel him into the air, then ease him downward to the ground.

That may have been a little too much to take in at once, so I made another frame by frame tutorial for you guys.

Examine these photos:

Frame 1: The stick man is ready to pivot and ease downwards make sure its in this position.


Frame 2: The stick man eases downward, the legs bend only a little, small onionskin


Frame 3: All movements are all more pronounced, slightly larger onionskin.


Frame 4: The left leg starts to bend, all movements from 3 are pronounced further again, and the onionskin gets larger.

Frame 5: Legs ease and the movement ends with a small onionskin, the upper body pivots downward as well.

Frame 6: Legs move upward, larger onionskin, the upper body moves as if were limp.

Frame 7: Legs move inward, as they move upward as well, onionskin is stll large, head bends a little.

Frame 8-13 The stick man stays in this position while moving upward, head may bend on the way up.

Frames 14-20 The stick man continues its downward journey toward the ground, eventually returning to almost the position it was in the start.

IMPORTANT!!! Remember that the two frames in the picture of 8 - 13 and 14 - 20 are only those frames, you will have to do the easing parts yourself, if you would like a pivot file E-mail me at ylperon@gmail.com
