Animation in Procreate part 2

Back to animating with Procreate! This time, as promised, I went for something a bit more complicated. I wanted to draw something cute and halloweeny so here you have a lil' witch riding her broom.

I first drew her from scratch in Procreate.

I duplicated the file to start animating since I think you can never play too safe with these things. I always prefer to have the first version as its own file. As you can tell I did make some adjustments in the animation step as well, for example I made her hair a tad bit shorter and changed the look of the broom's bristles.

First version (6 frames)

Second version (10 frames)

As you can see above, my first animated version was a bit stiffer than the final one. That's because in the end I decided to add a few frames more to make the animation flow smoother. 

All in all, the process took quite a lot of time, way more than I expected to be honest. I'm quite happy with the result but I'm still considering working on it and making her move more, perhaps by adding a bit of bounce to the broomstick as well as her limbs. I also realize the whole animation could be even smoother, though that doesn't bother me as much. I feel I've certainly learned a lot through this experiment and hope to continue doing so!
