Running vs. Dancing

I am feeling a little frusterated. I have never taken any drawing classes, and I only draw for fun. So I suppose that my drawings don't have to be perfect. But being the perfectionist that I am, I really want them to be. I am having trouble drawing figures in action, because usually I draw stationary figures. It is just so discouraging to spend so much time working on something and have it be not quite right. I knew that Spaceman and Spacegirl didn't really look like they were running, but I was hoping no one else would notice. :) Silly me. Spaceman says it looks like they are dancing, and he is right. They look like they are doing the twist or something. Remember how in Scooby Do, when they ran they ran straight upright. Hehe.
