 All righty, so looking at a weight shift Not looking at you're saying here arms and head. Okay So when you ignore all of that, I Think that one of the things you need to pay attention to when it comes to weight shifts, which I'm not quite seeing In here is that it's a common thing that I'm seeing imagine you have Let's keep this like that and then We have this could be a leg a stick whatever it is, you know, that's specific height Now imagine I'm gonna be all clumsy here. Oh Kind of like that ish so When you are standing then you're shifting over You have to remember that this is what happens to the legs If that makes sense more never by drawing arrows here Meaning that when you are shifting your weight over Right, you got your legs like this. So when you shift over what's gonna happen is that you're leaning over this This will be more like that. And then the hips will go up this way Right because all the way is on this leg, but the root is also gonna drop So Imagine you are, you know, your hips here you're standing and you're falling backwards. You're gonna be like this Right, that's the body body head and you're falling backwards. That's good. There's gonna be an arc So when you have any type of weight shifts and you're like this and you're leaning over There's gonna be a drop. Yes, one side will be up higher and then there might be like a less of a Noticeable arc, but you're still going to be high and then low high and then low depending on the weight shift So I'm gonna try something here Let's say your character is like this Straight I'm gonna cracking myself up. It's gonna be so horrible. Let's find another color. Let's go crazy. And then You're leaning over. I would imagine it's going to be more like this I don't know if that makes sense, but you're gonna go along that line and let's switch over to yellow just because I like yellow So when you are doing this, I'm seeing a lot of Straight pass here. So let me just draw So much straight line do some onion skinning and then you can see here Right as you do this, especially How it is very straight and you can go from this Over here next you can extend the legs and now it's going to be up here Maybe not that high, but then you go over and then we're down here again, right? So if I look at the the crotch area such a strange word in English crotch like a frog Do that somewhat You're going a bit lower there. I guess maybe I do it wrong, but it's just very very straight There you go. You can see how that follows. So make sure that we are higher and have Ark in the root. That's the main thing was you asking me here? Good ways to practice weights weight shifts like that I mean for weight, there's a bunch of stuff and I'll email you I mean I'll reply to the email with a bunch of stuff there But right now in terms of your animation That's the main thing where you want to make sure that if you do have a weight shift like this There are a couple things for me They will be the hips are I'm exaggerating just to make a point But the hips are higher on this side rights all the way is on this leg then as you move over It's gonna have an arc with the root is higher and the hips are straight and Then as you go over it's not going to immediately shift over because you have kind of a Shift and then you settle into the weight. She's kind of balanced at this point a little bit Watch out how far over we are But to me it's kind of like the hips are like this you go over They start to shift and at the end when you settle and you put all that weight on that leg That's when it really kicks in so to me in the graph out of there It's not like the hips are doing right like that. It's more like slow and a show like a bit of a bit of a drop there and settling into into That way you get your counterpasta type of pose there here I Feel like I'm noticing this more which is cool. It still feels a bit straight in terms of the path feels like it's going Fairly straight this way. Okay, hold on if you are Tracking this I feel like you have a little bit up and down, but if I do this and I take an arrow Along that line and you are doing. Let's see go backwards You're going a bit lower as my drawings a bit off, but it still doesn't have quite the arc in there Again, we're ignoring arms and the head So for me it would be that kind of thing now let me Bring up a clip hold on always bring up the sequence in my camera lecture just because there's a great weight shift Here and turn off the sound here as he goes over and What I like about that weight shift is there's so many things I like yeah, that's it's a different F&A So in terms of the pose and how it's completely in character and you got that lift with the swing on the leg It's great, but there's a good sense of there's a certain speed You're gonna have was your shifting weight and there's going to be a fairly sudden not linear But a fairly sudden stop in that shift Translate this way because now this leg is firmly planted and starting to push the other way Even though it has to have a bit of an angle this way can't be fully straight So with that it starts to push against it to that translate is going to stop really fast like that It's not going to be like a like that's gonna have a noticeable stop and during that noticeable stop The hip is going to shoot up a bit again, but suddenly that thing just pushes up there It's fun to show that one as it has a good good sense of weight there as well But that's what I would pay attention to I like little changes in the feet. I think that's definitely neat But I think you just want to push Like right now I'm seeing a lot of just straight actions if I had to look at something that stands out the most It's that so I would look at the arc that it has and then the sudden shift and the weight of That leg stopping that that weight shift and how that's gonna push that hit up a bit sharper towards the end Hope that makes sense and I will list some other things that you have here Questions in the email lift lift. I'm reading lifting here. I will list that in the email. All right.
