working on a video game!

I have a lot of character animations to do, so to get in the groove and get the character down, I'm drawing a single frame from each animation that the character will go through. Then when I start going through and actually animating, I'll referenced these poses. This way I can work out all the little details like what all animations I'll need to do, how they'll transition from one to the other, and how the character will move in different situations without actually having to do all sorts of animation and then re-animation as I figure stuff out. I'm hoping it will save a lot of work.

Plus, it gives me a lot of practice drawing the character, and I'm getting pretty quick at sketching him out accurately and consistently, so when I get to animating there should be less variation between the first ones I do and the last ones.
