Implemented the walk cycle into the actual animation, so now I have a filler for apart of the song I didn't know how to fill, I will most likely be adding more to the bit. Look at him go.

I have figured out how to walk! As in I figured out that all that was wrong with my animation was an unnecessary in-between-frame, and a single line. The one line created so many problems for me that, I spent 3 days on this one cycle alone.

I have a general Idea of the walk cycle, and I understand how the torso should move in a forward facing form, but the legs, (see above), don't suit the actual movement. I'm going to try some alternatives for such things. Also the 3rd frame's shoulder pops out a lot.

Working on a practice walk cycle based off of the Animation By Dingo doodles, trying to figure out just why it works, while drawing it out to figure the how. It is interesting how she does it, and her small in-between frames for lines of motion and slight changes to the hands help the movement.

I am studding reference material and animations in order to discern the approach to a walk cycle that doesn't necessarily look organic, but impactful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2drMr5H90hU This animatic has a great short impacful walk cycle. As well as my tablet was acting up, and acting as if the touch function was turned on, so sketching was not easy.

Then tomorrow I will continue with the animatic, mostly working on the skeletons and posing.

Was not productive, next day i will be.
