MR REEEEBOOOOT [walking]

This week we are finally working on walk cycles this has been a long time coming and i cant believe how far i have come in just a few short months. i started by following screenshots from the book animators survival kit to match the contact poses where the mr reboot is touching the ground. after that i added a breakdown for the foot to leave the ground as he takes a step and also the pose for when he puts his foot down and on his tip toe for the peak. these main poses make the animation come a long way already.

this already looks like a walk so what more can i add to bring more life to the animation... Well for starters i could move the arms and hips more to give mr reboot life and character also as humans walk there hips tend to bend the opersit to the front foot.

that looks good but he still feels a little robotic (pun intended) i think some head movement will really help add more life to his movement and give him more of a soul ill try and add a subtle arm swing at the same time to make him look more dynamic

and that's the walk cycle for this week.
