Walking has to be one of the most difficult things there is to draw, seriously. It's an extremely simple activity, but that's what makes it so tricky to portray correctly... if it's even the slightest bit off, your brain instantly sees the issue. Add some digitigrade legs in there for added fun and you've got quite the tricky draw.
Which is exactly why I decided to draw it. Of course, it came out every bit as stiff and robotic as I was expecting it to, but that's how practice goes. It always starts bad before getting better. x3
The picture itself as a whole isn't too bad, mind you, but I was aiming for more of a natural looking walk and instead got sort of a posed, stiff feeling. So as a sketch it's alright, but as practice it's kind of an utter fail. xD That's cool though.

Sometimes it is difficult to get 'motion' into a picture, I think for walking, if it's just one character, it's good to open the body up, and have the far leg being the one going forwards, that way, you can get a nice swooshy line going right from the neck to the foot, without it being blocked :3
Maybe record your self standing on tippy-toes (Link below), and watch your walk cycle back?

Walking is generally hard. Ask a roboticist. It's one of those horribly complex special cases the human brain makes dead easy, meaning anyone can pick out a pose that looks incorrect, but they can't necessarily explain why.
In this case I think it's off because her feet look colinear. You can't walk with one foot precisely in front of the other without some serious butt-slink.
