THE TASK
My challenge for this week is to create a walk cycle
MY IDEAS INSPIRATION
For this task I’ve been having ideas of another character I would like to create and possible develop further. So far the character is basic but I didn’t want to overdo it with detail and make it trickier for myself. This character is the first time I have made him on a side angle but feel like I haven’t given too much thought into his physique from the head down as of yet.
TECHNIQUES
For this walk cycle I was able to draw the character in a full contact position but drawing individual limbs on different layers allowing me to change them individually to fit the next frame. Using my drawing pad and pc I was able to create smooth lines for the outline making a good effect to the walking cycle.
SUMMARY
So far I have to admit this isn’t my best bit of work as I really struggle with creating such a large realistic animation. I think in future I am going to start small with animation by trying to animate smaller creatures or more cartoon looking characters. I think I ended up getting muddled with layers and was moving some body parts as I was moving limbs which left me with extra work. I would really like to give this another shot but before then I have some more fantastic simpler ideas I would like to nail for the next assignment!
