Meh . she's just tiny but not really weak but not super strong either, but i'll consider it. Her partner is a small floating monster that carries her when she's floating.  I want her to be able to attack while in the air, so the mace can't transform sadly . but thank you!

the weapon would be too heavy on the front though so I added another arm. Still not quite sold on it but the animation does look a lot better so thank you for your help so far

The only way to get better is by practice. It will be exciting to see how you improve 

Hello! I need a little critique on this idle animation. The character is a bit "blobby" so I was going for a bouncy look. But it still doesn't seem right. Any help? Oh the character is holding a large mace by the way. I just wanted to perfect the bounce first before starting that.

I know when I first started drawing, I was afraid to shade too. I didn't want to ruin my art and I didn't know how things are even shaded in the first place.

A good start is to think about the form of your cat.. Your cat is not a 2D object. Its round and its nose sticks out and it's eyes sink in a little bit.
Let's look at this cat ripped straight from google as an example:

It's good to look for references when drawing if you're not sure how something is shaded. In fact, even when you're not drawing and just out and about, you can look at objects and sort of "draw in your mind" the lights and shadows on it. This cat has a light source in front of it's face, so the shadows are mostly symmetrical. The cheeks and mouth stick out the most because that's where the lights hit them. The nose sort of dips in so it doesn't get the light.
If we highlight all of the shadows, this is what it looks like:

The best way to shadow is to start thinking of your object as a 3d image in a 2d plane. With practice, you can only get better so don't give up
