Sketch of the first key position.

Then I proceeded to build the character from scratch with different symbols on different layers. I made sure the pivot points were all positioned accordingly. I this stage I realized it would be much easier to have all of the waist-body-and-head as a single group on a single layer, so I made changes accordingly. The next step was to duplicate the exact same drawing on frame 5 and then switch left for right so that it becomes the opposite drawing. Sometimes you can use the same symbol for left and right. Sometimes you can’t (fingers rarely fit).
