nice one! I'm super new into animating and I should have probably watched this before I tried to make my cartoon pickle walk, which turned out horrible. It looks like its skipping every other step and rather jumping to the other side of the screen than walking. gave me a good laugh. your tips will help me so much, thanks a lot!
