Slow steps.Īccording to the others, We took big strides, swinging out arms and hips. Their arms were held into them and they looks at the ground. They kept their body as small as possible, as if they were trying to take up as little space as possible. Their shoulders were slumped, and their head drooped at an angle. They dragged their feet, and were pointed forward as if they were going to fall. After each group came up with one, each group had to then walk down the hallway one by one as the other teams tried to observe as much as possible about their walks. She blinked every time she looked left to right and her head tiltedĪfter this, we then did another group exercise, where we were split into 3 groups, and each group had to come up with a type of walk (cocky/arrogant in our teams case). The head went up in an arc as she looked left and right With Emily as my partner, I noticed these points: To make a point of this, we were put into pairs and were told to observe each other looking at our fingers pointed outwards from left to right, and write down 3 personality traits that we notice about them. Angry, sad, happy, everyone walks differently, and the more details added, the more personality traits and quirks given, the more realistic it is. I shaded the back leg so that the difference would be more obvious.Īfter the basics were done, we discussed personality. Using tv paint, we were to draw the 4 key poses, and then add inbetweens. It’s important to take note of arcs.Īfter this, we jumped straight into an exercise where we put what we learnt into action. Arcs are important! Arms move in an arc, and the same happens all over the body, from head turns to legs. The arms and legs are opposite- normally, the arms swing in the opposite direction to the legs. The torso is the core- It goes up and down as the person walks, the legs and body don’t change size, they move. With this, you have your basic walk cycle which you can then add inbetweens for. They are two fundamental sketches, which you then reverse, to have the opposite leg on top.
We looked at breakdowns of the walk cycle, done by different people, and talked about contact and the passing points.
In today’s class we looked at the functionality of walks, as it’s important to know what happens in a walk, as it is very fundamental.
