Walk Cycle - Flash Animation Tutorial

The above animation has been done in Flash.

Initially we need to design the walk cycle in 8 frames for half walk cycle. Copy all the 8 frames and paste them after 8th frame to have total 16 frames for complete walk cycle. Flip horizontally Each frame from 9 to 16. The frame rate set to 36fps.

You can design skeleton Character either in Flash or Photoshop.
I designed them in photoshop with the help of vector masks.

Blanket Illustrations/Cartoons

After a gap of one year, again here are my pencil sketches and colored illustrations created for Illustration Friday weekly topics . Illustration Friday inspired me a lot to drive away my laziness and made me to search for my art material.

The following first two cartoon/illustrations are rough sketches created on paper. Other two are after inking and coloring in photoshop.





The color images are output of my usual procedure. That is inking, scanning and coloring.





Creating children characters is great thrill. I know the body proportions are not perfect...but I could not restrict myself to post in my blog. There is lot of inspiration around. I need to practice a lot about drawing children faces.

Now there is something to blog every week. Thanks to Illustration Friday!.
