a single key frame

so i was watching samurai champloo last night and i got 'The Itch' to do some hand drawn animation. wacoms are nice, but there's NOTHING like animating with a pencil and a stack of paper. The pluses in the corners are to keep it registered, as I don't have the luxury of the school's hole puncher. I really miss the school's PAR system cus it takes FOREVER to scan each frame into photoshop.

The animation is Paige (the ninja chick) unsheathing her sword, spinning it around and then holding on this pose. Then I animated her lips moving anime style (flapping mouth) so I could just stick some dialog in later. If I ever get around to scanning the rest of the frames, I'll post it as a gif or something.
