Walk Cycles

Here is the final version of my first attempt at a walk cycle. "It is the hardest thing to do in animation," or so I'm told, so I consider this a pretty huge accomplishment. I wanted to make it look like he was skipping, or had a little "pep in his step."

I like the way it turned out, albeit a bit choppy at moments. There are a few things I would have done differently. For instance, I wouldn't have waiting until I was almost too tired to hold a pen before finish it up. But I blame the superbowl for that...I wish the Cardinals would have won.

I'm also publishing the first rough-sketch version I did. In some ways, I like it better than the polished version. The sketchiness has a very organic, for lack of a better term, feel to it.
