This is the fourth and in my opinion best version I've done of a walking animation, I still don't like how it looks much though and would like some help from the experts on improving it.

I'm no expert at animation, but here's an example on how you can improve the legs. It's just a quick edit, but try to keep both legs moving.

Hey, I'm new around here but would like to just comment on this to try and give you some help.
The two things that stand out to me are the thighs and the arms. We humans need our thighs to walk! In your animation the upper thighs don't move so it looks like he is walking mostly using his knees, which doesn't look very natural. The arms are fine, but the only thing is naturally when we walk, our momentum causes our right arm to follow the left leg and the left leg to follow the right leg. So when the left leg reaches its most forward point, so should the right arm. Hope this helps, looking good so far! :) |

Alright I took a lot of the advice, redoing the legs to add more thigh movement to make a consistent leg and switching the arms according to what was said, I would like to know what everyone thinks.
edit: changed it again using the advice of the first guy I feel like its about done but if anyone has something to say I'd be glad to hear it
