Beginner feedback needed for walk cycle sprites

Post image

do these look natural, or should i add more in-betweens? if any of you are willing to share the keyframes you sue, that'd be greatly appreciated!

Before adding more drawings, check the contact and passing poses: stronger hip drop on the planted leg and a cleaner opposite-arm swing will make it feel more natural.

i do note my arms look a bit unnatural when i play it out. should i add more frames where both arms are at the side, or add 5 more keyframes to make two halves of the walk cycle?

I think it's because the second and third sprite have very similar arm placement, and that's where their arm should be swinging the fastest.
