You've had it a week and created that already!

That's quite amazing work. Your timing will improve with experience but the character is already excellent. Love the walk!

AS is addictive because it's so easy to get results fast, as you've found out. Can't wait to see what you come up with when you've had it a while.

that's great for just a week. congratulations.
an advice, you could lock foots bones for better walkcycles and jumps.

Great walk cycle. Nice feminine touch to her walk.

Is that a walk in place animation and then moving the layer
to simulate distance or is the layer moving with each step?

I've done rotoscope walk cycles as in place steps and find it hard to eliminate the shoe slide as the character walks.
A disadvantage of not using bones.

That is what selgin is probably refering to. However it is only a very slight
slide.

the walk cycle was created as a walk in place animation and then i moved the layer in time with the feet "will try harder to align them next time

"
i use the hightech aproch of puting my finger on the screen for each footstep and moving the layer to keep the foot still LOL

but this foot locking seems to be the way ahead LOL

Sry i forgot to post the 5 view image i promised LOL will have um rigged soon and i hope to have a cheer leading practice in the near future LOL

Sry about the lame poses they arnt rigged yet so they are setup for easy rigging in mind.

the charicters are designed with ditachable skirts "dont know why seemed like a good idea LOL"

This is what happens when a newb plays with piont animation LOL
