Animation Exercises ~ Task 4

Walking Cycle:

For the Walking Cycle, I have used Adobe Photoshop to draw a frame by frame walking animation. I used the principles of animation Slow In and Out, a mix of pose to pose and straight ahead, Arcs, Secondary Action, Twos Timing, and Solid Drawing.

I used a youtube video as a reference for the movements, focusing especially on the shoulders and head. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HEoUhlesN9E

I’ll also add my current progress here:
