 Sketch Due to my little to no artistic talent i decided to instead of sketching anything to just find some animations from family guy to use as references the main ones that I focused on was the attack and fall down animations Attack Using this scene and multiple other ones I combined what i liked from the scenes and animations to decide how my character should attack and what the animation should look like Fall down In family guy there are a lot of times that quagmire gets hurt or falls down so i searched for some clips of that happening to him to get an easy idea of how he would fall and how i should make my character act like him Jumping Finding a jumping idea for quagmire was a bit harder to do but in the end i decided it would be funny to have him look like this when he jumps simply because how else would he have gotten in this position Fundamentals of animation Feel for feel the main point I got from the reading is.
