My process for animating larger figures involves by first separating their limbs and other large segments (the black and white sections) and creating the desired movement with them, usually having to use multiple colors whenever they overlap. Only then do i start adding the rest of the mass by first adding the connections (yellow lines). This is where i stopped here, but i would continued by connecting the legs to the torso. Then i would've bulked up the body and added the rest of the details.
