Thanks 1up. Yours looks great.
Here is my new version:

I think it's much better.
Now I'm going to search the forum and youtube for some reference on the legs.

It does look much better. Very nice job.

As for leg references, why not just stand in front of a mirror yourself? What I noticed when I was making a punch anim. was that my left (front) knee bent forward, and my right (back) leg rotated inwards.

There's a bit more oomph in the punch now, still the whole body needs to move. When you punch you use your whole body, stand up and punch the air with almost everything you got. You'll notice how your whole body transfers energy, beginning in the legs and all ending up in your fist.

What you should do too, is to make the animation smoother by adding two more frames at the end where he slowly pulls back his arm when he has punched. Add one more frame where he shifts his weight backwards before he punches too.

hey,

I paused my work for a while but now I'll continue. This is what I have so far:

I'm going to start all over with the first kick animation, and I want to make a third punch.
These are sprites for a game, so I have to make lots of kicks and punches to combinate.
Any suggestions for a third punch? (punch-punch-punch)

third punch:

It's really WIP. :-[
The right arm is far from perfect and at the and of the animation there is a problem to but I'm working on it.
Any tips?

Wow, nice progress! The third punch is a little hard to make out because of the colors you use, but so far so good from the looks of it. I'll echo the others for body movement: putting body weight behind the blow is what gives it power. Or from the mouth of Bruce Lee: "You gotta put your hip into it"

his torso looks oversized compared to limbs. You may want to check that on an anatomy reference picture.

I reccomend doing a jumping punch. You might think it isn't very original though, you can use it for practice anyway ^_^

Very good animating! Looking forward to this.
