Honestly the only thing I see wrong with it is how it gets big for a second, but I think it's great.

it needs to slow down then it looks good

@supereggmuffin & Ariana Black
Thank you both for your feedback! I've sort of toned down the part where it gets big and slowed it down slightly.
I hope it will look more fluid when I line it c:
Thanks for your help <3

much better

It looks great but i think its still a little to fast but it looks real great other than that.

ah! lovely work! i am far from an animator by any means and i think in doing horses you have set yourself a very high goal - not that this is a bad thing of course, just don't beat yourself up for not getting it perfect immediately. i've seen video games done by pros with less believeable horse walk cycles. excellent work!!

Do you have to download an app to animate or what

Thank you both! I agree it is starting to look better, but it could slow down a bit. Everytime I preview it, everything's fine, but as soon as I post it, it speeds up. I swear I have no luck :<

Not really. There are some apps you can buy and they're probably of good quality, but I'm using ChibiPaint for this and stitching the frames together in gifmaker.

I'm not an animator either - I'm jumping into this with very little technical knowledge of the processes and things, so I'm sort of feeling my way around. As for horses, they're one of the few things I can draw believably and I know quite a lot about their anatomy and movement. Man, they are difficult though! At least I'm learning from all my mistakes, so hopefully I can improve. Thank you so much for your feedback - I really appreciate it <3
