Walk Cycle Exercise

The Problem :

Create an alteration of a walk cycle that clearly shows an emotion or personality trope.

The Solution :

Deciding what kind of walk cycle to create was a hard choice. I knew I wanted to choose something untraditional, and finally settled on a confident cool guy walk. One of the main challenges with this walk was maintaining that relaxed and dynamic silhouette, regardless of which angle or stage of the cycle the character was in. I was able to solve this issue but gently turning the stomach and chest of the character upon each step, exaggerating the silhouette from each angle.
