i know its bad stickmen but im learning and the arms are flapping around like crazy...

Oh god.
Do you walk and run like that. Please say no.
Edit: Since I feel like a douche right now: Look at movement tutorials and try to copy human movements to the best you can. Use a thicker brush size, and lower the smoothness of the brush.

no i dont run like that and im not gonna change so much just make it smother because hopefully you dont look like a 2 inch high stickman.......

stickMAN. Its obvious that they're meant to be relevant to humans. You cannot try to use that as an excuse because you're bad. You can't just come up with a new way to walk and think that it's going to be fine >_> Everything walks because of how their bone structure is. Animals use four legs to walk because their bone structure presses more of their weight towards the ground in a horizontal way (for most animals). While the humans bone structure is more focused on balancing the weight in a vertical notion. Making it so we can walk using our legs alone. Stick men take after the human bone structure in most cases. So yes, you have to make it walk like a person or else it looks ****ed up which in turn makes you look even more ****ed up.

Checkmate.

why do you always have to be so rude?

with a couple less word all you say is that this is crap instead of giving my persona advices, i dont like tutorial i like real experience so why cant you just give me something to work on?

@olololno Well put, you know,... other than the hastyness.

And torjous, I would give some C&C, but aparently I'm no good at walks either.
You went about testing it the right way go, I animate first, see what I have to work on, then I look at tutorials.

Also, though clever your remark was, he does have a valid point.

I mean, his comment on the walking part made sense, he was just a bit rude like you said, and since this is probably no longer relevent since he edited his post and posted a new one, this post is pointless. Wow, I just confused myself.

That's just what he did in his edit my good friend.

Everything olololno said was right. I seriously hope you don't run like that.

any good "BIG" tutorials?

Look in the flash tutorials and the official tutorials sections.

Why can't someone just do this for him?
