i saw someone say nessa looks like a splatoon character n i thought that was a cute idea

secondary animation adds a LOT to the believability of something’s movement - consider, here is pearl’s shuffle with the secondary animations removed

this is called overshooting, and you can also see this much more strongly if you watch her hand.

instead of stopping where the first arrow ends, her hand continues for a few frames before pulling back in to finally hit the target!

- overshoot
if I slow this down, you can really see what’s going on here.

if you focus on her feet first, you’ll see that anticipation build up before her foot actually over swings a little bit before finally pulling down to the floor:

in fact if i play the whole shuffle you’ll hopefully find pearl’s feet nice & easy to keep track of:

and, when you expect a movement to happen like that, it’s really satisfying when it finally happens.

this is something I really focused on playing up when animating saturday shorts pearl! compare the last kick pearl does here:

our ink colours aren't special on their own, but together we create new colours and become something special
