Walk Cycle Practice

Practice animation for the upcoming game I've been hired to work on.

Materials:

12f Animation Paper

Lightbox

Ruler

Pegbar

Blue Col-erase Pencil

Sakura Pigma Micron 8, Black

Scanner

Toonboom Studio 6

Wacom Cintiq

What I learned:

That I need to plan my arcs before drawing the keys

how to use traditional and digital techniques together to create a seamless animation process.

that I really need to study more, instead of just Forrest Gumping my way through, like I did here.

to be honest, I'm not real happy with it, but I did learn a lot. attempted shortcuts in animation only lead to trouble, and a whole lot of mess. better to just do the work properly, and spend the extra time plotting out your motions, then trying to rush through. especially if you're as new at animating as I am.
