Follow along to this basic tutorial on how to animate a basic walk cycle.
No bells and whistles on this first version, just a vanilla walk cycle to get you started.
I animate this in Adobe Animate, but this can be done in any animation software.
Thanks to my Patrons for supporting this episode!
If you're doing your fist walk cycle, export a GIF and send it to me on Twitter!

  • When you talked about starting a second channel where you'd focus more on the "how to do it yourself" instead of the post-hoc analysis of "what had already been done," I wasn't sure that it'd really be content for me. Having watched this, I'm glad that I subscribed here. You've got such a calming demeanor, are very clearly both knowledgeable and skilled in what you do, and have an excellent ability to communicate and share that knowledge with others. Bravo!

  • As someone who loves animation, experimentation has always been my way to learn, but finally, I've found a good tutorial that doesn't just tell you "draw your key poses, those are the most important and exiting poses, and then do your in-between and clean up", thank you for a wonderful tutorial. (:

  • Very simple and straightforward, well done :) Personally I would start with the contact and passing positions before doing the up and downs, but that's just another option.

  • Hey can you tell me some tricks for animating with your finger? I have been drawing on an ancient galaxy J5 with my finger for over 1 and a half year and it's still so hard because my phone doesn't support stylus so please give tricks

    @powerbolt7508@powerbolt75082 жыл бұрын
    • Oh boy, umm. That's a tricky one. All I can suggest is trying to invest or save up for hardware which supports styluses, I think it'll be tricky to get the right accuracy using finger drawing.
