Link Walk Cycle 2d animation

[kelson2828]

@zeldafanatic Your a great drawer but you need to work on your animation skills. Good drawing alone won't save poor animation. I suggest you read up the animators survival guide by Richard Williams espeacially the pages dedicated to walk cycles. Your animation seems to lack recoil and highpoint positions aswell as the shoulders and arms being high and stiff no flexibility. Once you get the walks right you'll be animating like a pro in no time. Good luck!

nobody feelin it? ... anyways, good job... :'(

link be strollen, day haten...

Actually, I just noticed something. There are some parts where Link looks like he's popping out of no where when he walks past the screen and then it starts over. That's not much of a problem with a moving screen animation. But if the area he's in is still, that could be a problem.

@masterbrawler111

yup i noticed that problem before. I know what to do next time. Thanks for noticing.

[masterbrawler111]

[zeldafanatic]

lol thank you! yeah i noticed too the legs were messed up after the deadline. DX. i learn from my mistakes.

[wolfen1057]

Good job! To me it looks like Link's legs are switching with each other. I did that on my first run cycle.

[zeldafanatic]

thanks. yes i got mixed up from the sketch and i just noticed when i colored it in. i should've double checked~

[CloudFlowers]

Good work! Knowing how difficult a walk cycle can be, you are pretty good at it, I can relate :-3

[zeldafanatic]

thank you! @W@

it is hard. never thought it would be so technical just to get it right. i tried so many attempts to make it decent but my teacher critiqued it saying to make more adjustments. eh i tried XD. thanks for comment :3

[CloudFlowers]

No worries =D I've always admired animators on their way :-3 And remember that critiquing isn't always a bad thing, it certainly gives me a reality check and a way to improve, it's really quite helpful.

[zeldafanatic]

aww~

yeah true. im just not used to it yet. im like sensitive when i shouldnt be XD yes yes i agree. ty

[Orcnon]

Totally coooool! I'm gonna look at what else u did...

(ps I noticed just 1 frame of the cycle look a little odd, like one leg is on the wrong side, but it's still cool.)

[zeldafanatic]

lol thank you. yes i did make a mistake on the legs. i got mixed up. i just noticed it until it was done XD.
