Happy walk cycle

Here is a happy walk cycle, made using double bounce where the character bounces twice in one step to give them that light happy feel. I also made him lean backwards a little bit to make him seem more relaxed. 

I am quite pleased how this turned out and will be applying my character to this walk cycle soon and I will probably use this in my actual animation. Next I want to have a stab at doing a sad walk as my 20-30 second animation will involve both happy and sad walking.

Double bounce walk cycle

This is a walk cycle I made in Flash, I read about double bounce walk cycles from The Animators Survival Kit and thought I'd give it a go.

I am quite pleased with it although when I come to do the actual thing I will probably make the body bend backward a little bit and the head tilt up. I am going to go back and edit this and see if I can make it look happier, and use what I have found out to do a hand drawn version.
