I'm not much of an expert, but I read "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams, and he says the arms are at their widest on the *down* position. That isn't exactly "one frame after the contact frame" like I said, but it could be, depending on how much frames you use for a walkcycle.



Looking at your frames, your hands seem to be at the widest on the contact position (the frame where the heel of the leading foot touches the ground).

Your arms should swing one frame later than your legs for it to look better. The hands are at their widest one frame after the leading foot makes contact with the ground, which isn't the case here. besides that, the sprite is very good!

Can you post the individual frames please?

New and improved site is now operative!

Custom colours and canvas sizes!
Loads of interesting lo-quality art!

New colour templates are coming soon.

I'd high-five you for this cool insult...but you have no hands.
And I'm not pulling your leg either.

Improvements will come over time, I hope. (I need to bug people to make them, I can't code, sorry)

I  think it looks way better than the first one.

Good work!

If you're done with a picture, and want it that way, I can make it read-only.
Also, great pics everybody =)

Thanks for the images!

Snake, thank you for your continuing support!

Thanks to Peder and Wyz my page on agser.me is now working! =D

Please drop by and draw something, as long as it's not porn or something offensive (Peder doesn't host that).

Tips:
Try to save a test image to see how it works before drawing (two images died this way =( ). Right click is the colour picker.

Edit: Hold shift while clicking for floodfill (thanks TomatosInTheHead)

Hello, and welcome to the forums, colorthemap!

Much much better!
I think with just 2 more edits it will look just right!

Make the front hair and the feet (when they're at the back - lifting from the ground) less "clicky",  and that's all.

On a side note, I think some kind of a ribbon or a flower in the hair would give the girl more character.

Keep at it!

She has a limp in the side view, and her boobs are off key. They fall down when the body is going down, while they should fall down when the body is going up. The boob problem is visible because of the limp, that is, both problems are connected.

When walking all the body is working to keep the head from moving as much as possible, so you can see stuff and not blurs, and yet your head is moving like it's welded to the body. The neck should bend so the head moves less than the body.

Her arms are not swinging in step with her walk. Instead, they do a double back swing/twitch for every pace she takes, while they should swing, so that each hand is (there is only one visible in the side view) opposite of the foot on the same side. If I sound too confusing, just walk around and look at your arms while doing it.

Concerning the front view, well....it's a complete mess =) Just fix the side view first and then copy the limb and body positions and movements to the frontal one as good as you can, and see if it looks better than this version.

You are not using any shading with this style, so it might be better if you change the colour of either the hair or her shorts. The current colours are too similar, tho that's just a minor issue.

I also think the head in the side view should be just a bit more forward and a bit more up than it currently is. If you really enjoy torturing yourself, you could try to make the hair swish around to follow her movements.

I hope all this makes you feel insecure in your drawing and animating skills and feel bad about yourself. It's what CL is for =)

  I GOT A PAGE UP!!! PEDER HELPED ME! HE'S VERY AWESOME!!!
