MR REEEEBOOOOT [Wave]

during this week I focused on making a humanoid character wave. This involved a lot of things I never really thought about on how people move my main focus was to make it feel as though the arms were being dragged by the body showing off more use of anticipation and follow through. first I blocked out the movement and made it having him look left and right and before a excited wave. this worked but it didn't feel very fluid.

this already looks quite good but i feel like as he looks left and right the arms could be a little more dynamic and he could have a little more life. i added some more exaggerated movement for the arms and offset them a little with the graph editor this made the whole animation look a lot more lifelike and really brings the animation together. one last thing i added was a new animation layer to give a breathing effect to Mr. reboot allowing him to look more like a real boy.
