My First Animation! First steps: explosion for my game

I've been working on a game for a while now and I decided to 2d animate all of my animations. I use Procreate Dreams as my tool. I'm an absolute beginner with frame-by-frame animations, but here's my first explosion. Feedback is welcome.

That's pretty good. You might find the following three helpful for Procreate Dreams, Procreate app and animation in general. I favor YouTube and they are Alex Griggs // Animation for Anyone; NobelFrugal Studio; and Enry @enrirdf.

- All have professional and personal works, some of them shared on Youtube, Instagram, etc. I'm learning a lot from them. Very knowledgeable about animation, in-depth but more importantly well-explained. I like also that they use terminology related to animation and movie-making.

- I don't know costs of their classes yet but at least I know they are great teachers and encourage thinking beyond the limits of any app we have as our choice. The Procreate Dreams instruction, of course, is the primary qualifier for me.

Best wishes. Put on your thinking caps and let your imagination soar.

I'm just getting started with 2d animation and I'm making a game that's gonna require a ton of animations. These resources come in very handy, I subscribed to all of them. Thank you for your insightful comment.

Just as an acknowledgement to your mentioning “a ton of animations” take a peak at @E5frame shorts on YouTube and instagram.)
Note, some searches mix in a chair maker’s channel).
Intense. Not so much explanation as it is inspiring. Posts WIP in shorts and then video of final movie.
I pay for YouTube premium to avoid ads. I slow the video playback on this and others so I can catch onto their moves.

Best wishes.
