How I animate a walk cycle (Patreon)

I'm glad I export these constantly. Here's my process of roughing the key poses, to animating the frames in between, animating secondary motions like the hair and tail on different layers, and cleaning it up for colors. I don't do a lot of walk cycles to begin with, so this was really good practice for me in figuring out how to properly convey weight and how it shifts in body movement, and how to show the personality or attitude of a character through a walk.
