Description
Figuring out a walk-cycle is an entry-level test of your ability to animate. It was the first thing I fully animated (which isn't much, considering it was only 32 frames looped 4 times). This taste of animation is really what got me hooked on wanting to make more!
Although it is possible to animate a walk-cycle with a minimal number of drawings, I consider it to be better to have around six per angle (with an exception to the profile angles). This chart provides all the basic shapes needed to draw a walk-cycle for a character wearing sneakers/trainers at eight angles. Flip the image if you need the left shoe. Since I remember having a LOT of trouble drawing feet, I highly encourage beginners to trace these drawings (experienced artists should just use it as a reference). Please link back to me if you use it.
Take a look at my Hand Charts!

Cool. Good stuff. I don't animate, but I can still appreciate how exercises like this get one thinking the right way and exercise ability to create models of objects in imagination and manipulate them there. That's really the primary ability.
