before i started to draw the frames of my work i hit a little speed bump, how could i draw all the frames and keep them in proportion throughout my entire animation without my light box ( that i broke ) the it hit me if i drew out a light grid i could photocopy it as many times as i needed and if i stuck to the guide lines all my images would stay in proportion. i did plan on removing the lines from my frames to start with but i kind of like them there now it gives the whole thing a playful feeling like its not tacking its self to seriously. 
these are some attempts at some basic movements the positions came from a short video i found on youtube

a bit more of an advanced move in this on, to make this work i think i will need to put a few more frames between these two points

practice figures

these are some of my first rough sketches of a man. my aim was to keep the figure somewhat faceless/without an identity i think it will give my final animation an mysterious feel.

the elongated limbs come into play when ever the figure make long fluid movements it will make the whole thing feel more smooth when its finished
