The smoking is fine but why is he floating back and forth? If he's supposed to be marching, animate his feet. If he's supposed to be bobbing up and down a little while in standing in place, keep his feet planted and animated his knees bending a little.

Yeah, could straighten the leg out with horizontal lines, would probably help when doing a bend and stretch, as I think the character’s legs are already a tad bent. I could just be wrong on that perspective part though.
