this is the first run cycle ive ever made. it's quite awful but give me some general tips i can use to improve on the next time i do shit like this
im gonna make one so that you look bad
The legs seem slightly off compared to the body...
I'm not good at animation, so I can't really give much more of a comment

"k"
oh so now we're starting with the whole "if you don't type like me you're a faggot" bullshit right
contact, body goes down
mid-air, body goes up
you have it for one of the leg motions but not the other
i have nothing to say except "oh ok i'll remember that" because the whole thing was done on assumptions, i didnt even know which way the body goes at what time etc
the movement in general is just really stiff
yup
here is a simple generic stick figure run that i might eventually make into a person

more in-betweens but you dont care
run and see if your own body moves anything like that
I think you got it alright for the leg but the upper and mid part looks weird. Maybe change the running pose.
EDIT: I hope this helps abit:

that animation kind of sucks but do look at the reference sheets they're providing for body movement and the contraposto in the hips and shoulders

that's a walk cycle
Quote from: rtilthat animation kind of sucks but do look at the reference sheets they're providing for body movement and the contraposto in the hips and shoulders
i guess i'll keep trying it until i get it. what other shit do you suggest i attempt to animate
HAHA LOOK AT THAT LITTLE BASTARD RUN
hes off
since you did a run a walk seems appropriate. do the key poses first, then inbetween. here are some tips to help improve your walk:
1. head is at its highest point at the passing position - when one leg is passing the other
2. head is at its lowest point at the contact position - when a foot first touches the ground
3. before a foot touches the ground the toes should be pointing up. this will help give your character balance
4. before you finish a frame ask yourself if the center of gravity lines up with the shoulers - if not, try again

lmao did you actually make that? Looking pretty good.
To anigen, the body looks ok but I can't figure out what the legs are doing. You should take a look at Anipedia's walking cycle article, read it and then do the same thing with a running cycle. There's no difference, it has all of the same poses they're just drawn differently but they're there to do the same thing.
i had a go at a silhouette walk cycle.

Both of you
If you ever get the chance to come across a book called the "Animators Survival Kit" by.. oh whats his name now... Richard Williams yeah, well, that's a fucking fantastic book and if you're a fan of Roger Rabbit well that's the guy who I guess directed the Animation for that film. Or something along those lines. Either way he's a well established and a great animator and it's a great book. F00D and rtil probably know about it since they are both college animators if im not mistaken.
Just some noobie advice from a 16 year old

overdose on drugs and die?
I just bought a Wooden Manikin tonight Woot!
In my opinion it's more useful than looking off websites though still not as great as real life drawing.
A few months of solid parctice with it though and my people should start to look more like people, then after that it's just years and years of refinement... luckily I love drawing

Anigen has somewhat a strange way of taking critique. I'm pretty amazed.
