Haha, I just like to be friends with everyone and spread positivity :]

I second this, alan becker’s tutorials are pretty great. This one is on walk cycles

Though I would also highly recommend checking out the 12 Principles of Animation first, those will help you understand the basics of animation.

Also walk around your room while animating and watch how your legs and hands swing. Or watch other people walk in movies or what not, and copy it exact. Using real life as references is the equivalent of being handed an answer key in an exam— in the end animation goes back to how good you are at copying what you see

thanks hamazah
