Ayy dude, have fun here. As for the animation, it looks stiff and so unnatural because of the easing is not there, some of them are smooth but not eased. Easing is like you moves slow then go fast then you go slow again, and that actually happens in real life activity tho like run, jump, walk, etc, so it goes like |-|--|----|--------|----------------|--------|----|--|-| you can watch some reference tho about that such as bouncing ball and stuff that's related. There are lack of anticipation, ehh.. I mean really lack, they don't have anticipation to the move they are about to pull. Anticipation is a motion you do before the act you're about to do, like when you gonna punch then you have to charge, pull your hand and then push. Same with the easing it works like that, when you want to go to opposite direction, you can do urmm.. like fast to slow motion and the goes from slow to fast in opposite direction, just like punch. Aaaannddd.. There are many tutorial in this site you can read, or you can watch collabs or animations in different section. Anyway that's good for a first animation imo. But, learn about easing / spacing so you can do fast or slow moves with a good motion. Keep it up, hope this helps xd. By the way, that animation looks cool!
