This tutorial breaks it down into a simple series of steps, and shows the basics of flipping and rolling paper. Lesson 2: The Walk Cycle - Most people can't wait to make a character walk. It's advanced, but I've tried to simplify it, showing the 4 main poses of a walk cycle, and how to build the walk around them.
