Over the 10 weeks you'll be guided through a series of walk cycle exercises under Tony's expert eye. These challenge a different aspect of your animation principles, sharpening your skillset to become a stronger, more skilled animator. Each weekly lesson is run like a virtual classroom, with drawing warm ups, theory, instruction and a task to complete.
New format 👉 This course is now run in a 'start anytime' format, meaning you can begin TODAY! There are no live calls so it can fit perfectly around your schedule, which means we've also been able to lower the price too! 💰
Each week starts with a 2 hour class where Tony guides you through exercises and demonstrations, just like you would in a real classroom.
Sketch along, watch the demos and pick up some invaluable tips. Then it's down to you to try your new skills out on one of our homework tasks.
As well as the weekly lesson, you'll have the chance to submit your animation for feedback from Tony himself.
He'll give you tips to improve and encouragement to keep going on your quest for animated brilliance! This is your unique chance to tap into a true animation masters knowledge and years of experience.
As soon as you sign up you've got access to our exclusive Discord server. You can chat to other Academy members there as well as all past and present Walking the Walk students too. It's a great place to share progress well beyond the course and widen your connections!

Yes! You can be a total newcomer to animation, but it's also great for those looking to sharpen their skills and really get back to basics.
Although this course has a hand-drawn, traditional focus, we are also developing a Moho and Toon Boom rigs. These will be free for all future and past participants as the course updates.
This is a part-time study course. Depending on your skill level, you could complete the weekly task in under 4 hours a week. The more time the better though!
In short, no! Your course content is available forever (or at least until the internet blows up with the rise of the machines 😬 )
