animation mentor:201 kicking (blocking phase)

i decided to go with ballie kicking, but instead of having him just kick a ball, i’m going to have him throwing 2 kicks to another character.

kick2

there’s a lot of shifting of weight going on as he throws the kicks with each leg. i want to make sure he looks balanced, and i want to sell the power of the kick.

i shot reference video of myself kicking a bag, but i won’t be posting that.
