The Nerdy Cartoonist

I have always wondered how to make a walking cycle. Now that I know how to  properly do it, I wish I had this knowledge when Flipnote Studio still existed. I would say the legs were the hardest, and longest part of creating this. Followed by the arms, then the body, and lastly the head. Because I like animating my projects on one's, the end result looks very fluid, but it takes an incredibly long time to finish. Overall, I am happy with how it turned out. It almost reminds me of a walk cycle from old Disney cartoons or Looney Tunes.

Alright, let's do this one last time. My name is Darrell Faison, but every calls me DJ. I was not bitten by a radioactive spider or radioactive pig, but I have been drawing for a while, and for 10 years I've been the one and only artist at my school. Long ago, I did some animations for a while on a software called, "Flipnote Studio" on the Nintendo DSi as a child. Then, everything changed when the online service, "Flipnote Hatena" shut down. It was on there where I learned most of the basics of animating, and although my animating skills are great, I still have a long way to go before I'm ready to publish anything. However, through this class, I will learn the many methods and all of the intricacies that go into making a good animation. I believe this class will help me grow as an artist, an animator, and a person and help me achieve my goals in life. And the rest is history.
