The walk cycle of the main character is a one second loop on twos. I am happy with the movement of the legs and head - it conveys a sort of bored attitude that I was attempting, but the arms are slightly too rigid, so i might redraw the last frame of each step, or add in a 6b and 12b frame just to add a bit more cushioning to the swing.
I first drew the 1 and 7 frames, which are copies of each other, except with a different arm and leg in the foreground. Then I drew the breakdown poses on 4 and 10, finally I drew the remaining four frames in a more straight-ahead fashion without looking at the following frames. The result is a fairly mechanical walk, but the straight-ahead frames add a nice flick to the feet which I think adds more character than I would have achieved if the whole cycle was drawn pose-to-pose proper.

| A colour test. still unsure of whether to colour all the characters or keep them as simple line drawings. |
