Reviews for How To Animate Walking

[Samus-Aran]

That's really good.

Well, the last guy that reviewed this flash may be talented enough to use onion skinning on own with help, but the fact that you cared to make a tutorial for people who don't know how says that you have great potential to be a professional animator, imho. I like it. Maybe you could work on a more advanced version of this tutorial with a comic book-like character? I'm wondering if you would like your tutorial to be hosted by anyone on their site? I have a web page made for flash tutorials, and I'd gladly host it with your permission of course (that is, if you're not hosting it yourself).

Stew-Ped responds:

Thanx for the offer, I'd be fine if you hosted it on your site too, cuz at the moment it's only here and on my site. That way i'd get some more exposure =] I'll email it to ya.

My friend uses that

My friend does that, and he should me usin onion skin n all that not just for walking, now i can make amazing stick movies, with no thanks to u :D
good tho for other ppl.

Stew-Ped responds:

I use onion skinning for everything. If i'm animating, then I have onion skinning turned on.

hmmmm

at one point, i feel bad about this movie. It encourages ppl to make stickmovies which be most likely crappy movies.
However, it can be used for fully drawn charackters as well, and there are always ppl in need of good tutorials.

Stew-Ped responds:

I also draw real humany people too, and I use stick figures for the frames of those humans. Of course, those stick figures are more correctly proportioned. But I'm glad you see that someone can use this for animating people too.

Not bad, Not great

It was an ok tutorial for frame by frame stick figure animation. The arm movement looked bad. But that happens...It is funny though because...I was thinking of making a walking tutorial too. But I have a non-stick guy drawn and it uses body parts and tweens. You can see my guy at http://commandoz.freehomepages .com/projects.html if you click on space crusade and hit next a bit. Yea...i'm going to make me a tutorial on how to walk using body parts and tweens =]

Stew-Ped responds:

The arm movement was choppy, but It gives you the jist of what arms look like. I've never tried tweening walking, I've only used it for car movement or grenade throwing. That walking looks good on your site. I wish someone would do me a tutorial on how to make scroll bars like the one you have in that flash with the walking. I'll probably do a tutorial on walking with body parts, but drawing them, like actual animators do.
