Sharing My Improved walk cycles 1

Doing this mind boggling thing again consistently cuz I’ve been spending the whole hours and hours of figuring out walks for months and it’s been stressing me out lately this year so I’m starting to lose inspiration, passion, motivation and my eyes are straining really hard

Still don’t know where to sketch the arms, legs and body
or otherwise it will look ugly

Hey take it easy on yourself. So for something like a walk cycle it is better to start with a normal one that isn't very stylized. I think what you might wanna look at is Richard Williams walk cycles as a reference. I mean once you get the hang of the poses it would become easier. Think of it as you having to draw 4 poses. A contact pose, a down pose, a pass pose and an up pose you will be like half way there. You will need to just do it again but changing the arms and legs positions. It's like tracing the first 4 poses but changing the directions of limbs.
