Course Description

This class will teach you how to create walk cycles. This is what I wished existed when I first started frame by frame animation. This class will teach you the basics of contact, passing, up, and down. You will also learn how your feet and hands move. You will be able to create a basic walk cycle by the end of this class. My goal is to help you understand the principles of frame-by-frame animation by animating a basic walk cycle.

Here's a summary:

-Reduce the character into a simple figure

-Keypoints in a Walk Cycle

-Create a walking cycle with animation

-Create a walking cycle around a place

-Make your own animations

-Animate on Twos

-Make your animation flesh!

This class is not suitable for beginners or novice animators. Before you start animating, please take my Frame by Frame for Beginners class.
