Flash Frame-By-Frame Animation: 8-Frame Basic Walk Cycle
What you should do is take what you learned in that first eight frames, and apply it to the next seven to complete the cycle so that it follows something similar to the above. Consider it a little "homework"--and I'd like to see your results, if you'd like to share; it could be fun. You can e-mail them to me, or post them on the forum. You can also do either if you get stuck and need a little help; I want you to try this on your own, but I'm not so evil as to leave you to flounder without assistance.

It shouldn't be that difficult, especially on a stick figure; everything is the same, only reversed in position--what was fore is now aft, etc. Good luck.
