Flash Animation Improvement

[emanhattan]

I think that the main problem with your animation/drawing is that you have not found your style so far. start there.

I think I sort of developed my style by basically mixing different characteristics/colors/things from cartoons I liked to watch but I think everyone finds different things cool or fun or amusing so their style is somehow influenced by that.

Indeed I did, which is why I may add, khawner, your doing the moonwalk all wrong, you look extremly stiff.

Bad Walkcycles
Bad Moonwalking
Maybe your just naturally bad at walking all together?

The best advice anyone can give is learning how to sift good advice from bad advice.

Also, where's the guys bottom? His back leg sorta flails like he's made of rubber.

Ok, I'm back with a new one. I'm actually pretty pleased with this one, but I feel that it is still lacking something...

As I said before, specificly looking for harsh critisism.

And I would just like to say thank you everyone, for tolerating my not so good flash skills, and for all your help so far.

i can't imagine how many times i've asked people this, but have you read the animator's survival kit

I was actually planning on reading it, but my uh..."mentor" told me I shouldn't until I find a style. I figured practising with flash would help me a bit, which in this case, was trying to make a walk cycle, but I guess the order of things isn't walk cycle, style, animator's survival kit, but style, animators survival kit, walk cycle.

I pretty much fucked up everything I guess.
