Character Walk Cycle

The first step to create the walk cycle is to create each frame in Adobe Illustrator using various shapes. There were four frames, the first and third frame had the opposite arm and leg swing forward or back and the second and fourth frame had the character still with one leg bent. Then I opened each image in Photoshop and created a frame animation, with only one layer visible in each frame.

3 Ways to Improve the Animation

Slow down the animation
Fix the last frame so the purple leg stays in front of the body
Add more features to the character
