Jumping

165 Students:
Read 176-216 in the Richard Williams textbook. The image below is from the text.

(More realistic)

*The lower row of drawings represent the key poses for the Warner Brothers jump. (Rubbery)

On Thursday you will be asked to pick one style to work from.

Stopping

165 Students:
The next step of the walk cycle is to stop. Note the 3 middle drawings, the body is the same only the head has turned. Use the same technique used for the walk cycle drawings, trace the body, only change the head. We will work on this in class on Tuesday.
