Instructor: Dermot O' Connor

Capturing the movements of a horse, dog, or other such creature in 2D animation requires an understanding of certain principles and techniques. In this course, Dermot O'Connor explains how to animate four-legged animals as they walk, trot, and run. Dermot compares the anatomy of animals and humans, showing the analogous parts. He also demonstrates the basics of a quadruped walk, explaining how to create the leg positions for the front and the back, as well as how to offset them to create a realistic walk. Plus, learn how to add individual quirks to a run and create cartoony run cycles.

  • Reviewing the basic walk poses
  • Reviewing Muybridge's photos and the videos derived from them
  • Understanding the basics of a quadruped walk
  • Offsetting the legs to create a convincing gallop
