need of help desperately on a picking up animation

[Mouth for war]

Ok this is what i came up with...i just can't get it better...frame 4 is the one i'm having most trouble with...can someone pleeeease help me with this one? I'm going crazy here paintovers are more than welcome

Well, he feels a bit stiff; the only thing moving is his arm. Try doing the action yourself and feeling how you shift your weight, there's subtle movements happening all over.

yes that´s very true...i just need to know if the armmovement is good enough?...i'll get to work with the other stuff later on

also you could add a frame between the relaxed and extended arm frames to look more smooth. Try to make the arm raise more to the left, its look like his arm is glued on his cloth.

his right arm should move a little backwards while his left arm should move forwards grabbing the object.
If you do this yourself you'll notice you'll turn your torso a little bit.

*Edit*



A quick drawover just as an example; His torso turns a bit now, and I tried made him look in the direction of the object he's trying to grab.

his right arm don't need to move, but it's ok. Now make him putting the iten on his pocket
