How I animate a 2D run Cycle #2danimation #animation #anime

hey guys so this week we're going to be taking a look at character Run cycles the process for these animations is the same as the walk cycle video I'm going to start out with a loose rough pencil then go to a tighter line that has more of the shapes of the character and then finally I ink over those lines and add in my color let's have a look at the close-up Run Cycle that I did so we can discuss some of the 3D forms of the body so in this first Contact pose you'll notice that the Torso is tilted towards the camera with the pelvis tilted in the opposite Direction and by doing this it exaggerates the intensity of the Run Cycle um and really allows those forms to sort of rotate around each other with the contact on the far side now the Torso is tilting away from the camera and the pelvis is slightly angled towards us so just notice that they keep moving in opposition to one another in the passing pose both the Torso and the pelvis are directly facing forward and are in line with each other
