It's Blogging Time..

First post after getting back into the course on 2nd Year, so far so good.

Just thought I would upload my appalling walk cycle, it's fairly obvious that I need to keep up practicing on these.




Using the separate colours was an attempt to make the movements of each individual limb and the head/torso clear. Unfortunately I seemed to have conflicting ideas about the drawing styles, and opted for stick arms, torso and head, with full bodied legs. I think that combined with the colours, this makes it very difficult to see what is going on. However, based on playback I can see that the body is poorly proportioned and constructed, the head is far too animate next to the body, which along with arms and legs makes the animation much too busy to work as a walk cycle, because the eye has to focus on too much. I will keep on producing walk cycles throughout the year and post them, and observe whether or not I improve.
