Creature Pose | Flying Cycle

The flight is notoriously hard to animate convincingly, and there are many reasons for this. The action is very fast, but even in slow motion it is often hard to understand what's happening underneath because the bones are concealed by feathers, plus the movement is completely alien to us, it's not something we can act out or get a feel for. This is a selection of reference material that can give you inspiration and help you through the process for animating birds and other flying creatures.
