Maya: Character, walking

So after learning the fundamental basics of Maya and how to use it using the animation tools to create a bouncing ball, we then learned how to animate a 'funky' looking character to appear to be walking, on the face of it it looks a bit confusing but overall i found i have picked up Maya fairly easy and i am really starting to enjoy it, so much so i i find the overall feeling rewarding knowing that i have managed to create a walking character.
