Teddy Walk - Walk a Day

Today's Walk is a Teddy Walk.
Head - focused forward, light tilt and sway side to side, with a little twitch and rotate in the mouth and mustache
Chest - puffed out, light sway and twist side to side
Hips - light up and down, rotate to offset the chest and allow for the next step
Legs - low small steps
Feet - rotated outward, drag back on the passing position, land with a little toe flop
Arms - left arm bent upward cradling the chin, with a minimal sway, right arm supports the left, with a little keep alive
Hands - left holds the chin, light keep alive and tap on the fingers, right hand holds the left arm, light overlap and drag from the movement of the arm and forearm extending into the fingers and thumb

Animation Time! - Teddy Rig

Today's Inspiration:
“It’s about reaching that moment of pure ecstasy when a drawing just happens. Where every move you make with your hand and every thought you have in your head grows in front of you without any mistakes; no rubbing out, starting again and getting frustrated. It’s like being in a trance – it’s a fluid – and you almost don’t remember doing the picture. Drawing is an escape from all the unnecessary things in life that get in the way of being free.”
