The Daily Sketch

@Wolfenoctis and Night - I really appreciate the feedback, guys! I'm humbled. Oh, yes, I have seen those images about! Thank you! I'm also happy I influenced you to do a walk cycle too.

Included guides this time, not sure they're right, but I see errors a little more. I also gave the arms a bit more life even though the closer one is off...




Turns out I already to know a good reference site too. If nobody knows heres http://www.referencereference.com/ didn't know the vids could be downloaded using flash video downloader.

@Jams - Your sprites are really lovely!

Some notes on animation after reading Animators Survival Handbook.

When your strength stat is too low

standard four hole puncher + homemade pegbar drawing board = "animation system", total cost ~16 EUR (not "professional" but beats spending ~600 USD ( https://t.co/VtbxaIRxfP ) on the hole puncher alone and probably an arm and a leg for a lighttable frame + disc):



first linetest on homemade pegbar board, recalling some terms from ASK:

@Risenshiney
Try using a guideline for the elbows as well, they both should be on the same line at their extreme (like when it swings back to the end, not both elbows on the same time though of course), you could also try doing that for the knees and other parts like that, since the human body is symmetrical for the most part.

The reference site you posted is pretty cool, bookmarked it; I kind of want to get more into animation myself.

@Jam - thank you, kindly, happy you like what you see! 

@Wolfenoctis - I find that highly relatable.

@0xDB - That's pretty sweet! Kinda feel like sorting one of those myself. its even nicer seeing it animated traditionally

@Night - Thank you again! I'll do just that! Glad the website seems good for you.

No walk update today. Decided to work on an animation study instead after seeing all of Wolfenoctis' studies. I enjoyed doing this, and wish I thought of doing it in the past. I feel like I've learned a bit more and plan to do these more in future. Can't get enough of sakuga in anime.
