To research for my walk animation I did several things. Firstly I did several life drawing sessions. Some were examinations of form and structure

 

  

  

  

Others tested my results under abnormal circumstances like drawing left handed or from memory

 

  

  

 

Other drawings were taken from public places

 

  

I also took photographs for reference

 

  

And finally I made videos of myself

I also watched a lot of other videos looking for inspiration. The video that gave me the idea for the little girl pretending to be a monster walk was a French student film called Pandore

Here is the animation. There are some errors, most obviously there are no inbetweens. This is because of my own carelessness. I did not check that it was working during the entire process, and by the time I came to put them in I found that it made the animation look terrible, and it was too late to start again, which is what would have been necessary. I like the overall look however.

The idea of the animation was a twist on my two dimensional walk, which was a weighty monstrous walk, I decided to do a similar walk using the rig of a little girl, so there is much less weight and it is much more playful.
