Wandering Soot Bounce

This was a college assignment to use the squash and stretch principles of animation to make a ball bounce across the screen.
I chose to make my animation on the "Susuwatari" or Wandering Soot, seen in several Studio Ghibli/Miyazaki Films. I watched Spirited Away again recently.

Hand drawn on paper. My scanner didnt like the shading I did on the soot, and I think it dragged graphite across the scan, and thats why there are black distortions.

Comments are much appreciated!
