Please help me with this boy running animation

on: November 16, 2013, 09:31:42 am
This is my first steps in pixel art and animation. I'd tried my best, but this animation looks buggy and looks like he just bouncing around but not running. There is also a lot of problems with shading. I'd used "running animation lesson" to sketch out this:


And my work:




And animation (I don't focus my work on background, it's just for a visual test):




I also wish to improve his suit to make it related to cosmic or sci-fi and... to place some sort of JetPack on his back :D But yet my skills is weak there is just one coloured shaded costume

Do some sketches of him in a costume, that'd be a start. I can't critique on the animation since I don't know much about animation.
