How to make a Running Animation

...

If "cry a bit" was followed by "hurl self-deprecating remarks at myself while questioning my entire existence"... then you have me.

So accurate! 😂 Trying animation for the first time is super challenging yet super rewarding at the end when you figure everything out, but crying is an essential part of the process 🙃

I learned from an animation instruction book that a walking cycle is both the most fundamental thing to learn in animation but also the hardest.

This is the most relatable video ever. Ive been reiterating a 2d side scroller run cycle for over a year! Lol. Tried everything from 3 frames to 10 and still can't decide.

Thank you for showing the process. Makes me feel like I could do that one day.

Cry a bit, take a break. Totally relatable. It gets worse if the character has long hair on top of that too. ^^'

The crying is accurate. But this is the next step i want to take. Time for the tissues

Ok, so I was doing every step correctly

Hand drawn animation is extremely confusing

cry a bit... i think i do that step a bit more times than you tell me too. 😭

Cry a bit.. I'm actually doing this struggling a bit with prototyping my project

I still don't think this running animation is correct. Is it intentionally bad?
