For my basic walk cycle i followed Penny's Blog and also used "Richard Williams- the Animator's Survival Guide' they were both very helpful and useful to my final walk cycle. I did the walk cycle about 4 times before getting it perfect. Here's one of my failed examples After this attempt i had 3 more goes at trying to get my walk looking normal so i payed closer attention to the richard williams book. And drew out rough sketches of what the poses, just because it helped me understand them more and was easier to animate once i understood the anatomy. I drew the poses without the arms because it was easier so then i could just focus on what the legs should look like . I then added the arms into the animation without drawing them, because there much easier to visualise. Here's the final playblast of my finished basic walk cycle, I think it turned out well, and the other walks i did helped me correct my errors and get the final result which is shown below.

I wanted to look back at my animation books for reference of how to create a run and walk cycle. I have been looking in The Illusion of Life, The Animator’s Survival Guide and Timing for Animation mostly as they are the clearest about the positions. I realise that these images are for traditional animation and that in Maya it is necessary to not make the poses as extreme as they will either break the rig or not look natural and this will ruin the suspension of disbelief in the characters. f fffSome working out of a walk cycle, with the rotation of the hips and the up and down action: Trying to make the walks more cartoony - maybe make the Marmot lean forward and the Mongol lean back?
