Animate a Run Cycle

Animate a Run Cycle

In this class I share some of my personal techniques to animate a run cycle.

Those skills are useful for animation projects such as TV content, video games, web design and anything where you may need to animate characters.

What is the content?

• About 35 mn of step by step video tutorial.

• A Photoshop PSD file of the animations finalised.

• MP4s and a Gif.

Who is this class for?

This class is suitable for  intermediate artists who have prior knowledge of a 2D animation software.

What will we cover?

In this class, we will:

• 01 - Start by drawing the main 3 key frames.

• 02 - Draw the symerical key frames to get the full set of 6 key frames.

• 03 - Add inbetween drawings to make the animation smooth.

• 04 - Apply these steps to a more refined character.

Class Project:

Animate a character of your own and I will be happy to give you some feedback.
