MR REEEEBOOOOT [punch]

This week I am making a punching animation we are allowed to make any type of punch but i would like to try doing a straight punch as i think it may be a tad harder but also I really like how that type of punch looks and would like to try making it.

i started out recording a reference video of me punching so i had something to go off.

This was very helpful as it provided good reference for me to get the momentum and movement right in the final animation. i started off trying to make 2 straight punches so i did the main poses and blocked that out first.

overall i wasn't very happy with how the animation looked i liked the bobbing but i don't like how the arms move i tried to fix this by moving the arms up a tad and i tried it create more forward momentum which i believe i have started to achieve in my second block.

This made a big difference but i still feel like there isn't enough anticipation it doesn't look awful but I'm still not happy with it in the end i decided that 2 punches was a slight over scope for the time i dedicated to this animation and unnecessary so i changed it to one and started making that one look really good i am quite happy with this idea as i really like how the new punch turned out.
