Need help animating a character

I'm not sure if this is appropriate, but I need help drawing the animation for this here blob of a character

I spent literally an hour and a half trying to do it myself, but it just wouldn't get right. I'm in need of an 8 frame walk cycle, fairly sure I can still get jumping and falling done myself.

Thanks in advance

well, do you have the other 7 frames drawn?
If yes, i can give you pointers on how to program animations using that sprite sheet.

I can offer a 4 frame walk cycle.
Lacking some arm movement, but I don't have time for that atm. May need some highlights as well.

Tutorial: Walking animation for low-res sprites | Manning Leonard Krull is a nice resource I used in the past when trying my hand a spriting.

You might also want to try pixelation.org or the PixelArt reddit for advice by artists. (Guess what I've been doing lately? Sigh.)
