Walk Cycle

This was my walk cycle which i was at first quite happy with but i later realised some mistakes i forgot to take into consideration that it would be animated at that point i noticed the mistakes there where two problems the first being that the walk had no line of motion showing that my character was walking correctly as when walking there should be a sign that shows as the legs push off the ground the characters hight raises and when the feet touch back on the ground it lowers this slight repetition creates a wave like motion from the body raising and lowering in which you should be able to draw a line which should show the motion of movement without this line of motion when animating the walk cycle the movement of the walk would look incorrect and out of place as if it was hovering or being pushed the other mistake i made is not as big but the position of the legs could have been improved and the order of the walk was a bit wrong because it starts with my character standing in place when it should start with the second drawing instead and the first and last drawings should be erased as it messes up the fact that its supposed to be a cycle if it starts and finished standing sill or on the spot it won't work also be cause my characters legs where not bent enough emphasising the walk it it looks a bit more like a hop which was a bit dissapointing but for my first animation even though I'm not a good artist it came out ok.
