Hello fellow artist who don't know how to animate walking, best of luck to you all

[@zeph6935]

thanks lol

[@calliopeblue2303]

I’m getting there :)

[@Kittiebites_]

Supah hard

[@andree-anaisjoubert4854]

Thanks, the struggle is real✊🏻😭

[@andikaferdy7710]

it's challenging!

[@WickedWestCreations]

Thank you for this!!! i know some people dont get it, but this is an animation reference. It helps that there's a grid because i can see where exactly the body moves! I always have a HARD time making a character walk without the body looking static because i can't seen to get all the subtle parts of the movement, such as her pelvis and shoulders, and even the head bobbing with the movement.

[@rei337]

we're here for the same purpose XD

[@Glowbox3D]

This is a very cool resource here. I love it! I would also love another version for both male and female where the gate is smaller. A more relaxed stroll with feet closer together. This really helped in learning to animate a walk cycle.

[@endlessreference]

Thanks for your support Lonelyecon and to everyone els that has posted!

[@Amy_Dunn]

I know a few animators who would love these references. I'm totally sharing!

[@BrantPowell]

Thank you! Extremely helpful reference for animation.

[@gagablues]

Thank you so much! I've been searching for this! Luv your work!!

[@JeanSebastienDussault]

This also differs from conventional walk cycle theory with her standing leg being fully extended from contact all the way through passing position.
I think it's great

[@rjjr7064]

Thank-you so much, I got a great walk cycle animated from this!

[@endlessreference]

+Richie Jordan Thats awesome. If you are interested, you could email through a clip and some info on yourself as I am going to start showcasing animators on our website.

[@Smudgeurfudgemuffin]

wow you can tell she's done that a lot. very impressive!

[@ninhydren]

thank you thank you thank you. this is exactly what I needed. I am self teaching animation and the grid helps more than just watching people in the store. nice to have 2 views at the same time.

[@RoadkillAries]

This helps, though I've noticed that she really only swings one arm and it looks forced.

[@stiimuli]

+Kai “RoadkillFox” T well she swings both arms on a couple strides but I agree it looks as though she's trying to do the sexy runway walk.

[@xl000]

a.k.a the 'gunslinger gait' from Putin

[@09MannClan]

Nah, I think that's because that's the side facing the profile camera.

[@LesLieju]

This really helped me to animate my first walking cycle :)

[@runforFlash]

AMAZING Reference, you can't ask for any better!

[@mariacillan9668]

YES FINALLY I NEED THIS OMG THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

[@alexanderleeart]

Wow this was incredibly helpful, even for animating a male walk cycle.

[@VictorK-yan]

how's your progress?

[@MereLee]

omg omg omg !! Just what I needed !!
And your channel is AWESOME !!
Thank you, thank you, thank you for being you !!

[@Lu_Ciel.]

I'm creating some 2D sprites and this is totally useful. Thank you so much!

[@theMattDIKS]

Be aware this is a stylised walk, not a standard. (Possibly, her standard walk).
- She is locking her knee into a straight after the contact, almost till the release at the back. This prevents her knee/leg from taking the weight and bending in profile. However, if you watch the front view her legs take the weight and swiftly move to the outside. This is not natural.
- Also, for some reason her left hand/arm is swinging way more than her right.

[@xl000]

LOL

[@PelicanCanCancan]

But have you seen her kick!
ruclips.net/video/qQgRzfISz-E/видео.html

[@seranes_silence]

Do you know where we could find a better reference?

[@till1609]

hey I have the problem that I do the opposite, I somehow dont lock my knees and after the contact they shift forward. This makes my walk look weird, how can I fix it?

[@christianjonahzapanta6954]

I can mirror her right hand and apply it to the left hand

[@Raveninety9]

[@jlc5639]

Thanks to the guy posting this video. Yall should mention in the header to those that dont know: While paused use the . keys to skip one frame at a time.

[@Jay-Neemack]

Thank you for this -

[@EasyCartoonDrawingTutorials]

Incredible resource. You can only learn so much from a book.

[@endlessreference]

Absolutely! Books are great, but seeing things in motion adds a whole new dimension to learning. Thrilled you find it to be a valuable resource. Thanks for your support!

[@monkeyfudge1322]

THANLK YOUUUU

[@AnimatedLoopHD]

great referemce

[@endlessreference]

Thank you! Really happy to hear you found it useful!

[@davidbolha]

Simon Woods's videos sent me researching (& here). 🤔😎😆👌

[@hithere9565]

Someone in this comment section really said this was impressive. It's walking 💀

[@nutellawafer3686]

harder than it looks

[@SL-ec3im]

Not that easy to reproduce on maya though

[@moviemaker310]

well show us you walking? I bet you can't do it

[@Raemey]

it was a reference for animators. did you even read the title? mhm

[@tomascornejo1806]

THANK YOUI SO MUCH

[@endlessreference]

You’re very welcome! So happy to hear you found it useful. If there’s anything else you’d like to see, just let us know!

[@shyamkrrishnan]

thanks for this........

[@MikeRed]

lO QUE TANTO HE BUSCADO GRACIAS!!!!!!!

[@FluffyJackie]

Thanks a lot!

[@endlessreference]

You're welcome!

[@chatter2765]

Yes. Thank you. Now I can learn how to walk like a human.

[@poorlyanimated9632]

It's my first time animating something as complex as this, and this video is very helpful. I suck at animating, wish me luck :)

[@endlessreference]

That’s awesome to hear you’re taking on new challenges! Glad our videos could help. Remember, every great animator started somewhere-wishing you all the best with your project. You’ve got this! 😊👍

[@poorlyanimated9632]

@@endlessreference thank you!!

[@maxmagnus777]

Hi, love that she is wearing shorts because they show how the hips move. Unlike on other videos here model is wearing 2 colours.

[@patrickwalsh8913]

She's right-handed. You can tell by the fact that her non-dominant arm (in this case, the left) is much looser and swinging more freely.

[@nqme2861]

she's intentionally swinging like that.

[@AtlaniBonita]

thank

[@user-to2tt3qx5w]

thank you soo much sir
45 angle would be awesome too :)
making a nice isometric sprite out of it

[@endlessreference]

Thank you for the feedback!!

[@EVERTON2570]

Thanksssssssssss

[@lemoncat2556]

Damn this thought me how to animate :0

[@justed6170]

hey. thank you so much.. please make another animation refrence ^__^

[@JeanSebastienDussault]

As long as the rig aloows it, yes.

[@monguiller]

thanks thanks thanks

[@svrack]

yeah it moves a lot less that the left one... I've noticed that ion a lot of walks actually, like if you watch runway models its the same thing

[@cerealotter8277]

So I'm trying to learn how to animate and I think im getting the hang of it

[@casperrussett645]

This video: exists
Animators: it’s free real estate

[@stiimuli]

This is a great reference but its a very particular type of female walk instead of a casual every-day walk. This is more of a runway model strut where her legs stay straight instead of bending to cushion the weight and she swings her hips far left and right. Most women don't normally walk this way like to the store and stuff =P

[@nyoom9814]

Press . and , when paused and you can scrub frame by frame

[@endlessreference]

Great tip Nyoom - thanks for sharing!

[@Killerkraft975]

Im not an animator. Just an artist who wanted to draw walking but here I am considering doing animation just to learn to draw better.

[@elijaguy]

suberb! as one can see, the adult female's walk differs from the male's in that she lets the side of the pelvis on the free leg drop down a bit, while the male lifts it up a bit. This difference is very important and often ignored. In your parallel male video the man bends the knee of the stepping leg a bit too early, why does he do that? interesting. more similar research of movement of the kind you are doing will be very valuable not only for animation, but for therapists too

[@leowweiseng8325]

Did you have Real time video for this references ?

[@aim__freakz8499]

thanks a lot. with "." and "," you can skip single frames :) i took a screen shot every 25 frames and making a 2d animation now with a rigged char in ae :)

[@AnswerisB]

I love the hip sway women have when they walk

[@josegonzalezcarmona6346]

Z

[@bimosalexandres]

can someone mention what makes the male and female gait in walk is very difference?

[@DoctorAdamSaab]

Mostly the difference in the size of the pelvis and the torsion angle of the femur.

[@avillence_hollow9342]

how many frames would this walk cycle go? the counter on the side doesnt tell me much

[@Exxylux]

This is how my gta online character walks lol

[@battinameghapradeep3679]

Where is down pose ? and i feel like upper body is leaning to only right side but not left is that common for every woman ?

[@endlessreference]

lol, Excellent

[@theKidZwantTechno1]

watch this and play twist clip loop in another tab on youtube. Walk like a boss.

[@arifkaraarslan9772]

Ahh my love.
I keep forgetting you but every time I post this to the junior animator for reference, I fall in love with you all over again.
