Well, it's pretty good. Here are some crits.

First, his feet are sliding badly. Secondly, his movements are very sluggish. Thirdly, you need more strong poses and expressiveness in his motion. Also, work on your follow-though and get familiar in working with the curve editor. The curve editor will do wonders!

Some great sources that might help:

Richard Willams book "The Animator's Survival Kit"

Mike Comet's animation tutorials:

I hope this has been some help! Good luck! :thumbsup:

RedSilas - thanks for all the feed back - much appreciated!

I've got Richard Williams book, which is brilliant. I will look at the tutorials.

I gave up on the feet sliding and used the excuse he was walking on ice! I think I might spend a couple of days just getting him to do a good walk cycle.

Thanks!
