I really love drawing and animating powerful women.
I think it helps me personally as an outlet,
it helps me empower myself.
Hi, I'm Danni Fisher-Shin.
I'm an animator and illustrator and today we're going to
talk about animating a walk cycle in Procreate.
Part of what made me love cel animation so
much is that it's pretty instant gratification,
if you can draw anything you can cel animate.
All you have to do is make a few sequential drawings and it's moving,
and I think that's really really cool.
Animating a walk cycle, it's really good beginner practice to
get into how a physical character will move.
Animating a walk cycle is something that can seem really intimidating,
but once you break it down into the basic steps and animation principles,
it's actually pretty easy.
We're going to start with a rough animation that's on
a low frame rate so we can lock down the keyframes,
and then we're going to start cleaning up,
adding secondary animation color,
and exporting your own GIF.
This class will be great if you already know how to
use Procreate and you're interested in adding animation,
but you feel a little intimidated or you're not sure where to start.
There's something so satisfying about being able to create
something that actually moves like you see in the movies and TV,
and I think that's really exciting and something that everyone should be able to try out.
My hope for this class is that you come away with
a cool new walk cycle and that you feel empowered to try animating,
however you want to in Procreate or in any other animation program.
Enough talking, let's get started.
