Practice:Road To El Dorado

I recently found a website called characterdesignreferences.com that had some sweet Road To El Dorado concept and production art I had never seen before. In it, I found some expression sheets. I decided to get a little animation practice in and try some inbetweening. I wasn't going for acting with these, but to make them smooth and (some what) on model.

Here is one I did of Tulio. Just a simple pose to pose. I actually like how smooth it came out ! (It was not that hard as his head doesn't move at all lol)

Here is a test of Chel from a expressions sheet (not shown) on a layout drawing from the movie. This one was way harder than Tulio because of the changing position of her head. I tried to time it out a little so it looked more natural, but I've been staring at it too long so I cant tell very well.

That means my next test is going to focus on timing !
