Character Animation

I've been grilling myself lately a lot as I keep wanting to push myself and my animation abilities, especially in these last 3 weeks where I've had week after week of feedback (that's gradually gotten better), but with the latest shot I've been animating it was all about the subtleties. I couldn't use any tricks, no deformers, cutaways etc. and so it relies all on my animation ability. I'm quite impressed with myself at how far I've gotten, but as ever I know there's a million miles till I'll be where the greats are.

This shot works in context with the previous one, where Sofia has rejected his Kite offering.

And I'll upload one last video when I've finished it. But I think it's looking good so far.
