Walking

[Rythmetic]

Im quite adept with my ability's in Flash however I do choose to focus mainly on Stick figures for all my Animation which arises the problem of the fact i cant make my characters legs more organically.

I can make them move dont get me wrong, however all the styles Ive found just say use motion tween or make the legs move back and forth and it just doesn't look good, it fails miserably at even being called animation, However im not put off with the amount of time one frame can take to create so if anyone knows any good Tutorials that can show me what i want it would be much obliged and any feedback on how to do it personally would be great.

Here the character im animating and no comments on art style please hes made this way because he fits with my Animation perfectly.
