    When you talked about starting a second channel where you'd focus more on the "how to do it yourself" instead of the post-hoc analysis of "what had already been done," I wasn't sure that it'd really be content for me. Having watched this, I'm glad that I subscribed here. You've got such a calming demeanor, are very clearly both knowledgeable and skilled in what you do, and have an excellent ability to communicate and share that knowledge with others. Bravo!

    This is the most organic walk cycle tutorial I've seen! Wonderful work!

    As someone who loves animation, experimentation has always been my way to learn, but finally, I've found a good tutorial that doesn't just tell you "draw your key poses, those are the most important and exiting poses, and then do your in-between and clean up", thank you for a wonderful tutorial. (:

    This is a wonderful video.
    Delving into animation currently and you couldn't have uploaded at a better time.
    Forever grateful!

    I love these videos, they're nice and slow-paced but not boring. Thank you Dan.

    I like this straight ahead approach compared to the other techniques which creates the 1st two poses (contact and passing), then inserting the down pose after contact and also inserting up pose after passing pose.

    Saved this to my art tutorial playlist, thanks Dan. Love your videos!

    Very simple and straightforward, well done :) Personally I would start with the contact and passing positions before doing the up and downs, but that's just another option.

      Thanks, and yeah everyone has slightly different ways of setting it up, it's just whatever works.

    Thank you!! I was really hoping you would do a walk cycle early on and this was better than I could have asked for, thanks!

    Hey can you tell me some tricks for animating with your finger? I have been drawing on an ancient galaxy J5 with my finger for over 1 and a half year and it's still so hard because my phone doesn't support stylus so please give tricks

    • @DanRootAnimTute
      @DanRootAnimTute  2 роки тому +1

      Oh boy, umm. That's a tricky one.
      All I can suggest is trying to invest or save up for hardware which supports styluses, I think it'll be tricky to get the right accuracy using finger drawing.
