Angry Toddler Walkcycle

DECEMBER 12, 2019

Adobe Illustrator | Adobe Animate || GLR

End Result

Since we've been using Adobe After Effects and Premiere Pro a lot my teacher thought it was a good idea to also get back to Adobe Animate. I was lucky since my Adobe was already updated to two 2020 version, which is now way better to understand Adobe Animate.
So when I was trying exercise walkcycle (which is down here), which our teacher gave us with the assets and videos, I could see that my entire interface was different, more accessible.





So for my own walkcycle I wanted to make a toddler. And since toddlers have tantrums I thought it'd be funny to make a angry toddler that just got a tantrum. I don't know why but it completely didn't occur to me too check real life toddlers having tantrums. I straight up went and searched for animated toddlers.

One of the most famous animated toddlers is Jack-jack from Incredibles. I decided too use his body as a reference in making my own toddler.
I then made in Adobe Illustrator my own toddler sketch. The left, down here, shows the many layers I used, with each a different colour.
The right one is the final one where I coloured the toddler in.



I then hopped into Adobe Animate and, just like my teacher told me with the practise walkcycle, go step by step. I started with the feet and went my way up to his face.
Down here two w.i.ps from my walkcycle made in Adobe Animate.



In my "Spark" page I'll talk with more detail about the project + another variation I did.
In "All of them" you'll go to my Youtube channel and see the final version of my practise girl, angry toddler and some other variations.
In "Playlist" you're also going to my Youtube channel and will be in a Playlist that's all about these walkcycles.
