To draw a walk cycle in Illustrator, follow the steps given below:
- Have a basic idea about the POV you want to portray. Whether it's a top-view or a side-view.
- Sketch a simple figure and draw it in various poses. Make sure that you mark every pose.
- While drawing a person moving forward, make sure that his body is leaning forward with the front leg a bit bent, and his back leg should be strongly planted to the ground.
- Make sure that you also make his arms swing.
- Now let's add weight to your model. The weight that you add would affect your character’s movement. So, it is advised to draw each part separately and then import it over your character.
- Now when everything is at its place, toggle on the Loop button and then Save changes.
