If your character rotates weird, it’s almost always the pivot/origin point.

In Adobe Animate:
✅ Hit Q (Free Transform)
✅ Move the origin to the real joint:

Head → neck (not the ear)

Forearm → elbow

Bicep → shoulder

Hand → wrist

Thigh/Calf → hip/knee

Foot → near the ankle/shoe

Body → bottom (often feels best)

Do this BEFORE animating—your bends will instantly look more natural.
