Introduction to Walks pt.1
Last week was awesome! It was basically, my first character to animate. Now, we’re getting deeper. After being introduced to “Ballie”, we are instructed to create our first walk cycle. This one is totally plain and simple (“vanilla” is what they call it). So no bells and whistles yet.
Oh, and this week is only a blocking pass in Pose-to-Pose style animation. I don’t have any reference footage yet. Hopefully, I can score some footage soon so I can double check my work. Yeah… I already started animating. Hey, I can’t help it!
Here is my first pass:

Oh, and btw, the pose for this week is STRENGTH. So sketches are incoming soon!

Mr. Klug,
Very nice work on your walk blocking. As I told you before, it looks as if you have not added any X (in relation to the character) rotation, only Z. And I just noticed that your strides seem to get a bit longer as he walks along. This makes him “dip” more as he progresses. So I would go back and check that. Plus, at this rate his legs won’t be long enough to walk walk much further. So there you go. Enjoy!
