I usually draw the arms at their widest swing in the down position and start swinging back only after. I think it feels a bit more naturalistic like that. That's one of the things I picked up from the late great Richard Williams's book. I like your videos a lot. Nice to see you post videos more often.

Thanks ask a question ; How to crate a character ? Where is to start ?
-
Sorry, the project file in the description is VertexColor, not Walk Cycle, could you please correct it? 🙏
-
This might be a silly question...but wouldn't it be easier (and better) to create parts in separate layers and just reposition them, rather than redraw them with a grease pencil? Sorry, a beginner here so please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello, could you please explain why blender could be good for 2d animation? I've been told the industry will be moving in this direction.
