Exactly 🤣
Ye let's watch it together and never know how to do it :D
Wow thisnis soo true ngl

Dude...seriously...you're recent tutorials are on an entirely different level! I've referenced your work before, and it's always been helpful; but these last 13 have been amazing! I appreciate all the hard work and effort you're putting into these. I'm learning so much and can't wait for your next videos!
aKiBlu Thanks I appreciate it! I definitely feel like my older tutorials could be so much better if I just made them a little more snappy and concise. I plan to redo many of them.
Awesome! I'm looking forward to those too now!

I've found that a looping walk cycle won't look slidey if you time the tween right. It can take some adjusting to get it right, but I do it all the time. Love this tutorial, by the way.
Yes, true, you can tweak the speed and distance to reduce the slide, but there are two other factors: the distance the foot travels in each frame has to be perfectly even, and often that is hard to predict. Also if you animate the cycle on twos and the tween is on ones, it will always appear to be sliding. But yeah if it's on ones and perfectly spaced then it works.
man this comment is old
idk why i even wrote it
wut
Who are you
thank you helped me
*Says that I don't have to memorize a bunch of stuff*
*gives me a bunch of stuff to memorize*
😂 Well we are learning stuff in all, what did you expect :P
Just a joke. Stupid RUclips won't let me reply directly to replied on comments. MEMORIZE THAT, RUclips
Aha :P
More like "you don't have to memorize THIS much stuff. You can memorize a bit less stuff." :)
Just write it down
2:08 I love how he chose to make the character to act all like "fuck this shit I'm out"

WALKING CARROT I LOVE VIGGYS
I don't know why this is so difficult for me!
Dude i'm thinking exactly the same ^^, but yea animating truy is something you need to practice again and again
Les jeremyades du lascar Lol its easy once you try simple animating then go on to hard animating to get better. I'm already halfway good at it.
Halfway good ?! i would love to see that :D.
Did you upload stuff on the internet ?
I just released my first animation :D, if i could have your opinion on it it would be awesome :)
I agree, if you check on my newest vid on my RUclips channel, the walking has gone terribly wrong.
YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOO GOOD AT ANIMATING, I WANNA BE LIKE YOU WHEN I'M OLDER

Well, your older. Are you?
It’s good to practice instead of praising someone for being good

This tutorial is one of the best. Alan speaks well and gets to the point. He manages to provide a great amount of accurate information in 4 minutes of air time.
Thank you so much for this! It really helped me out on an animation I'm trying to do. Your explanation was clear, easy to understand and the examples you gave visually really put across what you were explaining! Thanks again!
Thank you! I am a beginner cartoonist and this will really help make my characters look like they're actually walking instead of awkwardly lunging across town XD
this tutorial is never gets old!

Great mini-lesson. I show this to my high school animation students each year!
Love and appreciate the fact that you explain so SO well of why contact pose is called a contact pose and passing pose as a passing pose. My professors just straight up say now let’s do contact passing up down etc poses without explaining what they mean or what they are. It’s not very motivating not knowing what they mean. Not knowing the real meaning makes me feel rushed. Like either just go with the flow and do it without completely understand the concepts of why we need those poses or fail.
Great explanation. Such a life savor.
I believe this is the most informal in Alan's series. It helped me a lot! Thanks Alan, and keep doing what you're doing!
Probably the best Walkcycle video i've seen so far. great job!
I always sort my walk cycles into groups. (i may be a ten year old child learning from stuff on the internet but my animations are just above terrible.)
It goes:
Right straight, Left at an angle,
Right at an angle, Left straight.
Easy as that.
Reza Koplak406 pfft lol
@Reza Koplak406 im 13 and i can animate a bouncing slime and a walkign kirby
Dang all of this is better than what I create...
Bro at least yall have skills :,)
•blu bean• ARE YOU JOKING? I literally just looked through your whole Channel ITS BEAUTIFUL!
awesome tutorial. feel so much more comfortable with them already after watching and trying it myself.
This is the best video that explains walk cycles and it's under 4 minutes, wow thank you very much :) - Digital Cartoons
This is one of the best animation tutorials! You got to the point without any excess info but not excluding important info.
I guess I wasn't _completely_ off when I tried making a walk cycle... xD
Great tutorial Alan! :D
Thank you for sharing this free for us! My daughter, 9 yo, loves making animation in Flipaclip from my phone using her fingers. And I was quite astonished by her work. She just needs guidance on how to make it properly. I will use videos in your channel as references. THANK YOU!

You deserve an award for being the best at explaining a walking tutorial
I didnt knew this was that easy, you cant imagine how much i tried before watching this video
You are a true savior.
Oh wow!! Just Wow!!! You're tutorials are amazing!! I love them so much!! I love the 12 principles of animation and now this video is so thorough, and detailed in the ways of adding some more depth and personality to a character's walk cycles. I'll be rewatching this video a few times for sure! ;) Thanks for making another amazing tutorial! :D
I literally forgot that this was Alan Becker for almost the entire video
2:35 i was looking for sad depressed walk thanks
and lemme tell u a secret in 8 and I use blender 2.8 and me dad is buying one of those art tablets that u can plug into your pc and animate for Christmas and I cant WAIIITTT!!!
This is crazy helpful!!!!! Thank you for posting this!
Thank you man. I just did a walk cycle and it’s was better using your method and tips
Concise, informative, and technical with more than adequate visual aid. Very helpful, 5/5
42.0/42.0
This was the video that my school used-
"It can sometimes look mechanical and slidey, like a video game character." As I'm using this for a video game character.
i paused the video at 0:23 so i could look at all the frames of a walk cycle. very good video🤗
When I grow up, I want to be an animator like you.
2:08 so cool
1:00 use this as reference for your animations!
Thank you for the tutorial, my mother bought me an iPad to draw and animate.
But after some time i stoped using it because i didn’t no how and what to do, but i think I’m getting back on track. I hope that it keeps like this!
Thanks man for this explanation, I love it ❤❤
so dang helpful! :)
best animator
Nicat Hüseynli I suck at animating. ;( my animations don’t look good at all
2:16 for people who want to see forward view!
This was SO helpful. Thanks! :D
thanks, as a 3d animator i can animate many things but a walk cycle oddly enough, is the hardest thing for me.
This actually gave me a few tips i didn't know yet, and thanks for that!
0:23 Bruh all i had to do was pause that and just draw them legs and reapet it THATS ALL I FRIGGEN NEEDED XD
My goal is to make a 60 FPS 1 minute Stickman fight.
60 FPS? Good luck.
Sans the Moral Compass Thanks man, that means 3600 Frames for a 1 minute animation.
Sans the Moral Compass It is definetly gonna take a while, and yes, special effects will be in.

Thanks, I hope it will be done by Chirstmas!

THE GOD OF ANIMATION AS YOUR MENTOR
*remembers that I'm broke*
im starting a animation channel and this legit changes everything
Thanks,alan! This really help me in my animation!
i barely downloaded toon boom the other night, bought my first digital graphic tablet, and all i made was a ball bouncing across the cress for 3 seconds...like...watching this is intimidating to me. hopefully ill be bale to learn something..
ToonBoom is good imo but tutorials are hard to find
thanks for the confidence, its going to take a while before i can really do anyhting but ill get there
Try using Pivot Stick figure Animator first. You could practice animating without having to draw.

Starting my first flipbook animation today and this is really helping me out! Thank you for a great video!
I struggled a lot to draw these cycles. But watching your video made them a piece of cake for me
I’m a beginner so may I ask at 1:27, how do you do that.
Also in everyday animation how is it possible to create a bigger scene but then move the camera around
Me getting this video on recommendation after 6 years
Oh my god why is this so hard to make ;-;
Worked great, thanks!
Meanwhile my shitty-ass free software lagging so bad that I don't even know if I animated it correctly
If your those type of people who still can't make any of the video out, just copy me. observe and copy the carrot walking in the beginning at speed 0.25
+Cleaver Thanks for the great idea, I used that method and it has worked very well thanks.
screw the tutorial :D
Cleaver i like the tutorial because it has informed me, i like this method as it has helped me. :^)

I'm definitely new to Animation, this got my subscription plus a few shares! Thx for the free education
Wow ..... I was stuck with this walk until i saw this video......thanks for making this video!!
I've learned so much in one day by watching your videos
Honestly thank you so much for making this, ive been having trouble with walk cycles for a while (im a beginning animator) and this video is helping me so much!!
It's easy to forget, but walking is a balancing act that, ironically, has many steps. It's difficult to understand because each leg is doing something different at the same time:
1) In order to start moving, you use Foot 1 to push yourself up and forward off the ground. You stick Foot 2 out in front of you and land on it.
2) Keeping your leg stiff, you pivot on Foot 2 as if it's a pole. You lift Foot 1 into the air by bending your knee (this prevents your foot from dragging on the ground when it swings by Foot 2).
3) Once you pivot far enough on Foot 2, you begin falling forward. At this time, you straighten Foot 1's leg and land on it. Both legs are straight now, in an upside-down V shape.
4) You use Foot 2 to push off the ground again (this keeps you moving forward).
5) Now you use Foot 1 as a pole, and swing Foot 2 through the air by bending your knee.
6) You fall forward, straighten your leg, catch yourself on Foot 2, and push off the ground with Foot 1.
Repeat this cycle, and that's walking! It's still very difficult to get down, and there are many smaller details I haven't covered, but this is the gist of it. Good luck and good work with your animations!
*wow*
So I am a 13 year old boy just testing stuff out, but useless information aside, this was a very helpful tutorial! Thank you!
So much useful information in such a short amount of time!
Man, This saved me a lot of time with animating! Thank you!
Great explination, a boost to any new animator
Your tutorials are awesome....it seems now easy
Omg already the beginning helped me a lot,Thanks!
Thanks so much! You helped me to draw my first walk cycle :)
By watching your tutorials i can make my first full lenght flash animation where a stick figure runs and falls. Thank you Alan.
This made me realize how much depth and work is required, omfg.
Thank you for making this video, im working on developing my animation techniques and this has proven really helpful on what i need to do next 😊🖒
