A Walking Man

Here is a cycle of a man walking in place I did inspired by a clip art image from the 50's. Working in a vacuum, I tend to focus on the things I see that are obvious to me, and fixing them, but possibly missing other things. Posting on the forum is very helpful, since other people may see things I don't. I will keep at it.

This is a very determined walk, maybe the caricature of a sales person aggressively approaching their customer. As such, it has personality and might work well in such a context (caricature).

As a realistic walk, this is a bit too extreme, too forceful. Normal people tend to walk as relaxed as possible, let arms and legs move like pendulums if possible. I think I'd like to include some bend in the feet when they get off the ground.

Otherwise, fine work. I'd love to have you design my next corporate spot.

Thank you. Yes, this character is a man who knows where he's going. The arm and leg positions were inspired by the original clip art image, and it was rather exaggerated, which I liked. I will work on more variations.
