Hello fellow artist who don't know how to animate walking, best of luck to you all

Thank you for this!!! i know some people dont get it, but this is an animation reference. It helps that there's a grid because i can see where exactly the body moves! I always have a HARD time making a character walk without the body looking static because i can't seen to get all the subtle parts of the movement, such as her pelvis and shoulders, and even the head bobbing with the movement.

This is a very cool resource here. I love it! I would also love another version for both male and female where the gate is smaller. A more relaxed stroll with feet closer together. This really helped in learning to animate a walk cycle.

Thank you! Extremely helpful reference for animation.

Thanks for your support Lonelyecon and to everyone els that has posted!

wow you can tell she's done that a lot. very impressive!

Thank-you so much, I got a great walk cycle animated from this!

thank you thank you thank you. this is exactly what I needed. I am self teaching animation and the grid helps more than just watching people in the store. nice to have 2 views at the same time.

I know a few animators who would love these references. I'm totally sharing!

Thank you so much! I've been searching for this! Luv your work!!

This really helped me to animate my first walking cycle :)

Be aware this is a stylised walk, not a standard. (Possibly, her standard walk). - She is locking her knee into a straight after the contact, almost till the release at the back. This prevents her knee/leg from taking the weight and bending in profile. However, if you watch the front view her legs take the weight and swiftly move to the outside. This is not natural. - Also, for some reason her left hand/arm is swinging way more than her right.

Wow this was incredibly helpful, even for animating a male walk cycle.

This also differs from conventional walk cycle theory with her standing leg being fully extended from contact all the way through passing position. I think it's great

You're awesome! Thank you. It's extremely helpful to every student.

Thank you so much, one of the only refs I could find, kudos to you for doing this

This helps, though I've noticed that she really only swings one arm and it looks forced.

WOW... where have you been all my life :] thanx for the excellent reference m8t!

Amazing, you are saving my life! THANKS!

Perfect, now I can start practicing walk animations.

It's my first time animating something as complex as this, and this video is very helpful. I suck at animating, wish me luck :)

lO QUE TANTO HE BUSCADO GRACIAS!!!!!!!

Yes. Thank you. Now I can learn how to walk like a human.

THANK YOUI SO MUCH

THANLK YOUUUU

Hi, love that she is wearing shorts because they show how the hips move. Unlike on other videos here model is wearing 2 colours.

thank you soo much sir 45 angle would be awesome too :) making a nice isometric sprite out of it

great referemce

Thanks a lot!

Damn this thought me how to animate :0

hey. thank you so much.. please make another animation refrence ^__^

Im not an animator. Just an artist who wanted to draw walking but here I am considering doing animation just to learn to draw better.

Thanksssssssssss

thank

As long as the rig aloows it, yes.

thanks a lot. with "." and "," you can skip single frames :) i took a screen shot every 25 frames and making a 2d animation now with a rigged char in ae :)

This is a great reference but its a very particular type of female walk instead of a casual every-day walk. This is more of a runway model strut where her legs stay straight instead of bending to cushion the weight and she swings her hips far left and right. Most women don't normally walk this way like to the store and stuff =P

Ahh my love. I keep forgetting you but every time I post this to the junior animator for reference, I fall in love with you all over again.

So I'm trying to learn how to animate and I think im getting the hang of it

She's right-handed. You can tell by the fact that her non-dominant arm (in this case, the left) is much looser and swinging more freely.

suberb! as one can see, the adult female's walk differs from the male's in that she lets the side of the pelvis on the free leg drop down a bit, while the male lifts it up a bit. This difference is very important and often ignored. In your parallel male video the man bends the knee of the stepping leg a bit too early, why does he do that? interesting. more similar research of movement of the kind you are doing will be very valuable not only for animation, but for therapists too

This video: exists Animators: it’s free real estate

thanks thanks thanks

yeah it moves a lot less that the left one... I've noticed that ion a lot of walks actually, like if you watch runway models its the same thing

This is how my gta online character walks lol

This is a great help. But I wish you had people walking backwards, too.

She's used to walk with a bag at her shoulder. The bag-wearing arm's movement are dampered while the other one's are over compensated.

Watching these are great at realising quite how weird a skeleton is

lol, Excellent

watch this and play twist clip loop in another tab on youtube. Walk like a boss.

Press . and , when paused and you can scrub frame by frame

Did you have Real time video for this references ?

Thanks I need this because I am going to make my gatcha character walk frount view
