It's pretty good for ur first try. Try making his knees bend when he lands, makes it look a lot more realistic. Also, make sure his feet don't slide when he's bending his knees to start the jump, makes it look very choppy. Good job though =)

thanks for the tips. i will keep trying till i master jumping..

[hhhhhhholmes]

It's a good skill to have because even when people are just running, they're jumping in the process. Keep up the good work and good luck.

What exactly were u tryin to make his head do?

[Eiliosdraye]

Heres a tip that will probably work with pivot(it works on Easytoon)
When doing a running jump, bend one knee and have the other knee go straight forward as he is moving, and then when he lands make him land on the straight forward leg first.

standing jumps are awesome but running jumps are way cooled =D

Nice job, 6.5/10 =D
For your first (if it is really your first) 8/10

[bigbase]

yes its really my first itm eopening pivot. and i was trying to make him do 360 but i relized i needed to lean his head to make it look like he was spinning. or don't i?

[Eiliosdraye]

nope, just shading effects would be nice.

[bigbase]

and how to do that. i have no clue tyvm. lmbo

[hhhhhhholmes]

If I were you, I'd just have him doing a back flip or front flip in ur pivs, they're not hard and they look cool. Once you've perfected backflips, you can start working on harder stuff like running and walking. Another thing to work on is blood.

It's really hard to add shading to pivots. It may not be in easytoon. Pivot is stickfigures, which basically means 2d. It's good for a beginner
