Sooo... this is my first "serious" 2d animated shot. The first pass is just the keys (golden poses), and the character is for now a stick figure - Jason Ryan style. But the real drawing has the same proportions, so on top of the 'sticky' dude I'm just adding clothes and details - the limbs just get thickness and clothy deformations, the face gets details, and the wire-hands become the real thing, but all is built on top of this stick-figure pass. I want to post a few passes, like the breakdowns and then the inbetweened animation, and then the real drawings, and then the cleanup. Here's the drawn woodcutter, so you can get an idea.
Yeah, he's not the brightest fella' :D But that's not important. What is important... is... well, watch the animation!!!
