yeah, the big thing with female walks is to reduce the torso movement, and leave all the balancing up to the hips

I see what you mean, but I think trying to keep up with all the details you missed the spirit of the thing.

Weight shifting at the hips is the big thing you're missing, you probably missed it because it's sorta hard to envision in side walks, it's much easier to do in front walks. You have your model handy? if you do watch the way she finishes her step. That moment when she puts one foot down, and gets ready to lift the other is THE big thing. that's what makes all of us drool. Basically it's just the butt shaking from one side to the other because one glute relaxes and the other tenses.

 I think the best refference for this is probably one of those rapper vids with girls walking in semi-slo-mo....sad but true :p

Nice walk m8 :-)  well done.

The legs are dropping too "hard" and you need to smooth that motion a little more IMHO.

Heres a simple B&W sketch/Onion skin walk for a woman I did for you to show you the fluid movement you need.



I think your aiming for a more sexy, female walk with the bottom being thrown out/swung more, but keep at it as your doing well.

Cheers! :y:

One thing though iceman - she is leaning too far forward. a straighter posture and the walk will be better.
