2D Animation Test - Jumping Box Man

For this exercise, I created a jumping figure using basic shapes - a circle and a box. I actually found this more challenging than using an ordinary human shape, surprisingly. I had attempted a jumping figure in early March and while I have improved greatly since then, I found it difficult creating the illusion of a box man jumping. However, I decided to overcome my initial confusion by giving more of a build up - the box man stretches out like a sprinter getting into their start position, and then that gave the momentum my figure needed for a successful jump.
