Seems like a terrific start! It's great you're trying to keep things visually interesting and consistent.

My biggest suggestion to all newer animators is to practice the fundamentals first, before you really move into anything as complex as characters and actual cartoons. Animation is one of those things that you learn by doing, and you can do them (and fail and learn and get better) MUCH faster if you're only drawing a sphere (bouncing ball) or Flour sack at the start. I know it isn't quite as exciting, but in the long run you'll be much, much better off.

Either way, good luck with it!
