Hello!

I'm fairly new to making pixel art, and haven't really done any animation before this. I've looked into low-res walk cycles quite a bit, but none of the methods I've found have worked well, given the spacing of my character's legs.



The first thing I tried:



looked somewhat usable but strange. I tried alternating the direction of the legs on the fourth frame, like how actual walking works, but it still looks strange to me.



Any help would be appreciated, I really want to improve this.
