Animation Basics: Learn How to Animate a Walk Cycle Frame by Frame

Hi Isaac, I'm currently collecting student works and compile a showcase video to show on our instagram account. Can I include your project? We will tag all students included. Let me know :)

Hi there Marvin,

Thanks for letting me know. You can definitely use my project on instagram. My instagram handle is @isaacgoldman_

When are you trying to post it? Definitely appreciate the sharing of the work!
Thanks,
Isaac

Hi Isaac,

Thanks! I'm still compiling and no exact date yet. But maybe next week or the week after. :)

Hi Isaac, Good job! I like the design. I have a few comments on how to improve this further.First is the lower leg. When you are in the down pose the lower leg seems longer. Try to keep the length consistent. Here's how you can do that: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/av6p4wxpblzcvqk/down-pose.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.dropbox.com/s/av6p4wxpblzcvqk/down-pose.png?dl=0</a>Second is the arm. Let's focus on the right arm. I may have forgotten to mention this in the lessons but what we want to achieve is to have a good flow in terms of spacing. I have mapped out your arm animation. This is what it looks like: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/4oo9hfnyfjecr6d/spacing-not-equal.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.dropbox.com/s/4oo9hfnyfjecr6d/spacing-not-equal.png?dl=0</a>Currently its not balanced where it speeds up or slows down. Instead try to strive for this: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/gzsvpta01xtqts4/try-this-instead.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.dropbox.com/s/gzsvpta01xtqts4/try-this-instead.png?dl=0</a>Or if you have to add ease: <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/jb8z5ng7v0p1x4u/or-this.png?dl=0" rel="nofollow noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">www.dropbox.com/s/jb8z5ng7v0p1x4u/or-this.png?dl=0</a>I hope you can understand my notes. :) But overall I think you were able to understand the concepts. Good job!

Thanks for sending along those examples and the notes explaining how i can tighten up the walk cycle a bit more. That is very helpful!
