This diagram illustrates the fundamental animation cycle using a stick figure in mid-stride, positioned over a horizontal baseline representing the stage or timeline. The Adobe Flash (FL) logo in the top-left corner indicates the tool historically used for such frame-based animations. It visually conveys timing, spacing, and pose progression essential to traditional 2D animation workflows.

Used in educational content about animation principles, especially for beginners learning Flash/Animate or classic hand-drawn techniques; matches user intent to understand motion cycles, walk cycles, or timeline-based animation fundamentals.
