This video shares tips on animating character on a pogo stick. This is in reference to the "51 Great Animation Exercises to Master" challenge found on Animator Island. If you have some free time, check it out: https://www.animatorisland.com/51-great-animation-exercises-to-master/

This big ideas covered in this video include building and studying reference footage and using a variety of Principles of Animation to get convincing movement. While the video doesn't mention "how" to making a looping animation, the layout drawing shows the pogo stick starting in the center with a jump to the left, 2 jumps to the right, and a jump back to the left. Stay tuned for future videos that cover this technique.

I am using an iPad Air, Apple Pencil 2, and ProCreate Dreams to complete this animation.
