Learning to create a convincing walk cycle can be difficult, but the following references should help.

  1. •Idelworm has an excellent online tutorial which can be found here.

  2. •The Animators Survival Kit by Richard Williams has great guides for walk cycles (some of which are below). I strongly suggest that anyone serious about character animation purchase a copy of his book (http://www.amazon.com/Animators-Survival-Kit-Richard-Williams/dp/0571202284).
