Toon Boom Animate: Forward Walk Cycle [PREMIUM]

tonyteach — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 16:28:02 +0000

A walk cycle? With no legs??

Hey Campers, Tony Ross of tonyteach.com here. In this premium Toon Boom Animate tutorial, we create a forward walk-cycle (no legs involved).

This tutorial is based on anime and old-school limited animation, like Scooby Doo. Whenever you would see a character walking toward the camera, they would only be shown from the waist up. This was used as an option, when time and budget were tight, as it takes longer to create a convincing forward walk cycle when the legs are visible.

This Premium tutorial is 26 min long, and regularly priced at $2.95, click here to purchase, OR, for a limited time, you can get this for $1 simply by Tweeting or posting on Facebook about our tutorial.

Hey Campers, Its me again, Tony Ross. This Toon Boom Animate tutorial is a simple pose-to-pose animation exercise of a blob splitting off a baby blob. Traditional animation terms are covered like keyframes, breakdowns, and tweens. This tutorial, like the stick tutorial plays with idea of a basic way counting when animating – instead of 1-2-3-4-5, for this pose to pose exercise you count 1-5-3-2-4… watch the video, you’ll catch on.
