Topic: 2D animation question

Okay so i have been doing 2D animation for a while and i am getting really into it
My question is when your drawing lets say a walk cycle of a certain character how do you draw the head exactly the same for each frame
I was doing a walk cycle with a plain human being with just a circular shape as a head but every frame the circle looks different
I am using the softwae known as pencil but I am investing in flash
Any help on the subject or a direct answer would be very much appreciated

Re: 2D animation question

I don't know about this Pencil software, but with Flash I usually just copy and paste whats in that frame into the next and so on and so on so I don't have to redraw every frame.
