Hey, I'm new to the forums but I'm wondering if you could help me animate my sprite. It is for a social type game I am making, the game is in an isometric perspective.

Here is what I have so far:



I can build up a body, color and shade it, but when it comes to animating it I grind to a halt

I have tried separating it into parts and animating it by looking at walk cycles but it just seems messy and not smooth.

Any help/criticism would be most appreciated.
