not all four-legged animal run cycles are the exact same. For one, the anatomy and build of an animal will change the way its run looks. Also, one example difference is that a dog will become air born twice in its cycle, and a horse just once. This tutorial should work best at least for canines and felines.

Expertly explained and animated.
I don't think I've ever seen anyone use that little paw chart to keep track of which foot or paw is on the ground in a given frame. That's awesome! Seems like a useful tool.
Can you also make a tutorial on how spacing works between the frames? As in, on which part of the screen comes the next drawing? )I’m sorry that I can’t explain it properly
Close together will have a less amount of movement between the frames and farther apart will be more movement, I don’t really get what you’re asking so this is the best I can explain Do you mean easing?
I know exactly what you're talking about, and I desperately need this tutorial too
@@OceanGlow-jv8kj ikr! It’s easy to draw a running dog in place. But what if it moved around? I haven’t found anything that helps
I love this! I’ll definitely be coming back whenever I anamate a run cycle!
Animate
Can you do a video on animating Dragon run/walk cycles if you haven’t already? This was very helpful and informative for me as a young animator and I can’t wait to see more from you!
i second this!
I NEED IT SO BAD
I third this
I fourth this
I fifth this
Totally floored by how much detailed info you stuffed into less than 4 minutes. Not an animator or even want to be but this was still really fun to watch! Very informative while being directly to the point. Bravo.
Remember to use reference videos of watching actual animals running about preferably in slow motion to analyze how they run and make sure to watch it in normal speed to make sure you have the speed of your final piece correct
Don't start animating without using basic shapes. Yes, this particular copied dog may work well, but without using simple shapes, it will be extremely inconvenient for you to make animals yourself
I just wanted to say, I am insanely proud of you and your new content. These types of videos are insanely good and definitely a good change then from *cough* jam *cough* and I love it! Keep up the great work, you're such an amazing teacher too!
I love this tutorial! Thank you so much for making this!
The animation is beautiful!! The only thing that bugs me out is the head not following perfect arcs, it's especially noticeable in the slowed down version when focusing on the eyes.
Thanks! If by arcs you mean the semi-circular head motion, its not going to go in a perfectly circular loop with perfect arcs, no matter how smooth an animal is running. It's important to remember that the head is directly effected by the organic movements of the body and not an individual floating object
@@kuzillon yes! I didn't mean a perfect circular motion, but more of a smooth pathing
thank you so much for the tutorial!! more animal walkcycles would be amazing
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial and beautiful explanation, I am currently following your vid using my 3ds to start off and its turning out pretty good. You're a wonderful teacher cause this made things go so smoothly and I am genuinely impressed with how my flip note is going especially since this is my first time animating. Keep up the fantastic work :)
This is extremely helpful! Thank you! Hope you get more views on this bc you deserve it!
Animation? I cant even draw😅😭🥲
This is one of the simplest animation tutorials I've seen, you make it so easy! Each time I watch your videos I have more and more of an urge to animate, You teach so well and speak so clearly. I'm interested for the new upcoming tutorials, a well as the new animators out there :)✨
This is gonna help me a lot in my animation journey i thank you from the bottom of my heart😚
Brilliant! Thank you so much for teaching all of us. ❤
I really needed this vid rn thanks for that!
This is so useful! I rarely see so well made videos about run cycles or walk cycles etc
phenomenally explained, well done
amazing tutorial with lots of information, thank you
I tried my best to do it sadly I failed but I'll keep trying and learning from this!
This helps me so much! I am trying to make an animation for one of my first times. It includes some animals running, so I am grateful.❤
Omg thank you for explaining this in such a good way!!!!!!
You have a knack for making it look and sound easy!
I love these exercises! I like to analyze how other animators work on animations, and this ends up helping me as well ❤ congrats!
You are a Saint🤩! I'm going to really need this tutorial in my next animation XD
This really helped! Thanks!
Love this tutorial ❤
wow! this was very helpful!
I subscribed right away. Beautifully explained! I’m learning animation and this helps so much.
I’m still Learning animation, and i can do not too much while im Learning it for Two years lol (i was very busy with art but it was worth >:3)
Thank you this is so much help 🍓
This helps so much thank you!!!!
Thanks 👍 Happy new year 🎉
Thank you so much! This will definitely help me animate!
Thank you this helped a lot
Thank you I always tried to make running and this helped alot 😊
I recently made a Deer hopping/running animation loop on Procreate, without any help/tutorials!! I'm so proud! Great video!! 👌🔥
Great vid! I’m relatively decent at run cycles but this still gave me valuable information.
Your amazing and helped me so much
Oh my god! I struggle so much with run cycles this explained it so well! Could you maybe do a tutorial on other cycles such as walking and trotting?
I’m a therian and this helped me a lot with practicing my quads to know how to run I will also be trying to make a animation video for this Tysm!!
cool
Okay, now imagine a Cheetah animated. Who ever animated a Cheetah, HOW.
OMG TYSM I NEEDED THIS SM YOU JUST GOT A SUB!!!!
great tutorial, I like it, and you make great videos, keep it up😁❤
thank you so much!!
After drawing my whole life, I've finally decided to try animation. This let me make an animation I'm SUPER happy with! Thanks!!
So good! I just subscribed:)
very helpful
That is... Insane broski Thank you do much I just finished my first animation... I'll try again and watch this when I do
I'm barely learning drawing, like I've only done maybe 10 animal(mostly cats) sketches for class, and even more recently is learning digital drawing which is on my own with videos and friends to help guide me, but I've always wanted to do animation too, and this was very helpful, I'm going to be practicing this along with all the other things I'm learning related to art This video gave me a years knowledge of understanding compared to what a semester of beginner art can teach me, I'll definitely be catching your other videos
This is so underrated 😭
thank you im using this for an animation
Extra tip: You can also make other frames in between each of the key poses for a smoother animation!
RAAAH you don’t understand how useful this is!!!!! Not only because now my run cycles won’t look stiffer than a metal pipe, but because I can already feel the motivation rushing through meee rrgrgrgrg Also really quickly eats up your artstyle like a wild rabid animal rgegeggeg munches some skin off your arm ascends explodes hheheheh
Thank you im not a animater but im practicing this really helped
Omg tysmm
The fact I'm about to attempt to animate something that has dogs in it and this got in Mt recommendations is just
I smell an underatted artist
This helped me to fun as a therian (quadrobist) 😮😮
Me too
Im a therian and a quadrobist too!
woa!1!1!1 sometimes i do quadrobics randomly on a big bed that my grandparents have when they arent in the room
No
AGREED!
I trusted you with my life that you wouldn’t cuss, I’m with my parents
happy new year!
Damn how do u draw that good-
This will come in handy.
Yes everyone is happy with Lisa's triumph.
Ok, Ima see if I can do it
I was just wondering what you usdd to animate this ^^
Cutely consumes your art
Ah yes quadrobics tutorial
This is really helpfull and explained very simply so its easy to follow but i must ask which animation app you use?
What programm do you use for your animations❓️ (The tutoriql is amazing and helpful as always!❤)
Most dogs I've been around were never airborne while running and stay on the ground the entire time, so I don't think having them lift during a cycle is universal, it more than likely differs from breed to breed.
Ive been working on a fictional critter type creature that ostilates between being plantigrade and digigrage based on speed. The best i can explain is it runs somewhere between a rodent and Pikachu so im having a really hard time drawing it.
Xenomorph is good example
what is the cute dogs name i simply must know
Reginald
How about an aquatic animal swim cycle? Like a shark, tuna, dolphin, octopus, etc?
I’m a quadrobist and this made it really easy to run Who else? 👇🏻
Thanks for the tutorial, it was very helpful and detailed! What drawing app do you use?
Glad it was helpful, thank you! I use photoshop for still drawing, tv paint (used here) and adobe animate for animation. You can probably find cheaper alternatives to these haha
Whith what you animated it ? Please and it very helpful your explanation thanks ❤❤
This process also works for foxes since foxes are part of the canine family which foxes run similar as other canines but if they’re in a scurry they will run right to left so the predator loses them
You broke his leg! Dogs legs both move in the same direction. Like our arms!
Is this a custom pencil for TVPaint ? I like the line work. Did you use stabilization ? Thanks or the tutorial. Subscribed ;)
I SAW MY VIDEO ON THE RIGHT OF THE SCREEM
