We're not going to work with him like this, though. We're going to build our animation from the ground up; this is just a starting reference to keep the key idea in mind and to be sure we have a reference for what the final character should look like. I've made my character rather complicated and detailed, but for your first one you may want to simplify a bit.
This is going to be a difficult and time-consuming series of lessons--possibly the most difficult and time-consuming that we've yet covered, but you'll learn to apply the basic techniques that we've learned to creating an actual detailed colored, shaded traditional animation in the streamlined convenience of Flash.
