| Leg Cycle | ||||||||
This is a cycle of just the legs. It's a standard 16 drawing walk cycle. I give this as an exercise to focus specifically on just the leg action. You need to pay close attention to the hip swivel as it relates to the movement of the thigh bone. Also notice that the high point of the hips is when the leg is in the straight position. This can change depending on how you have the opposite leg move forward and if you wanted to you could bend the leg more on the back movement to make it more of a dipping action, something like what Groucho Marx used to do. |
