It’s been a few days since I started both pixel art and animation, I wanted to make a walk animation but soon realized it was a nightmare, so far I’ve only be able to make this :  
 ![walk_animation](https://community.aseprite.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/3/639371d65c2744f1cb1dfff4d9d1a06bfb6011df.gif)

I know something is wrong just can’t tell what exactly

Looking for feedback and some advices

pretty good so far, the biggest thing that you will have to come with terms with is that, a lot of frames just will have to look ugly as hell for the sake of the animation.

i recommend you look at the 12 principles of animation, alan becker has arelly good video about it.

This is really nice! ( but head bobbing would be nice, and the tie looks odd. )
