Cat Jump Example

After I completed the Double Ball with a Tail assignment, I used the exact same principle and applied it to a pair of balls jumping from one side of the field across to the other.

I began with the first drawing of the balls at the high point in the middle.

And then the low point key #7.

I then added some recovery and an anticipation before jumping back up to the high point in the middle again.

Recovery...

Anticipation...

Push...

High point.

Here's what it looks like as a pencil test with the mirror side completed as well.

I then went back and added on the tail, following the path of action of the balls the same way I did with the Perpetual Double Ball Bounce With a Tail assignment.

Then I went back and added on some legs.

And finally I went back and added the details to make the shapes into a cat.
