Description
half of my project from my character modeling and rigging class. We had to animate using constraints, which is handy for things like keeping the object in the hand, but I totally prefer just using keyframes for most animating
Animating the organic arm next. Just have to decide what that'll pick up and put down.

Nicely done ^^
There is one thing I'd look out for: when the hand throws the ball up, it looks like the ball is being taken away from the hand (like there is a magnet pulling it upwards) instead of the hand throwing it up.
Also, for it look more natural, try to give the ball some directionality. In your case it's moving in a straight line ^^
These are just things I think about, you can animate however you want ^^

I know what you mean and when i get a project I can animate how I want I'll make it look better, but my teacher wanted us moving the ball with locators and constraints and I kinda hate it xD because I couldnt find the control on the hypergraph (because its not changing x/y/z values, it's changing whats controlling the position of the ball) I couldnt fix it to give it hang time or make it look thrown.
There are ways I could probably make it look better by changing values and stuff but I really dont want to try and figure that out when in other projects I wouldn't be using this method to animate a ball throw ^_^

Lool xD totally get you there
We had a similar exercise but we had to animate a crane which had to grab different ibjects and the constrain option was a pain in the neck xD
