Finished a practice session I started a week ago this morning. I’m really proud of how it came out. ![GIF#8 (Dust Trail Practice)](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/33ce546c86d351e3c8d705e88e297463b4e577f1.gif) What do you guys think? Constructive criticism is welcome! :) ---

And here is the version with guidelines: (By the way, only the red point and arrow as well as the timeline itself is animated/constructed in twos. The rest is animated in ones.) ![GIF#8.2 (Dust Trail Practice) With guidelines-timeline](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/bdd49c6edb771eaa6042011a4fe71ad2949d832c.gif) ---

I really like this as an exercise because it’s simple in content but it concentrates on the importance of image flow! ---

Alrighty, so I completed another dust trail animation. This time, I focused on practicing a dust trail zooming on a corner. I have to admit, while this was completed faster, it was more complex than the last dust trail. Nevertheless, I tried my best to make it look decent enough. Took 2 days to complete. ![GIF#9 (Corner Dust Trail Practice)](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/uploads/default/original/2X/3/3980d22b6add38d135a2ce37977bc45a9aa29d7b.gif) ---

And here’s the guidelines version: Just like last time, only the red dot/arrow as well as the timeline is constructed/drawn in _ **twos** _. The rest is drawn in _ **ones** _. ![GIF#9.2 (Corner Dust Trail Practice) With guidelines-timeline](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/uploads/default/original/2X/6/6e5d86bedf149cf88f169b9b297f1ea663803657.gif) ---

Alrighty, here’s the final animation practice for now. Started this immediately after the second practice dust practice (the corner dust trail one) and took me three days to complete. At first, I didn’t know how I could construct the form of the animation. _Then I remembered that **Akira** existed. :P_ So, yeah. Overall, I’m not proud of how it came out to be, but it is what it is. Hopefully, by next time, I should remember simplifying the dust forms into circles and triangles. ![GIF#10 (Front Facing Trail Practice)](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/b90acfabb5dad05d25f2ca308eed0105f72ba981.gif) ---

And here’s the guidelines. Unfortunately, there’s no timeline—or frame count on the top right. ONLY the dust with the sharp edges is animated in _ **ones** _. The rest is animated in _ **twos** _. ![GIF#10.2 (Front Facing Trail Practice) With guidelines](https://discuss.pencil2d.org/uploads/default/original/2X/4/41a1ea6414528d290d8865edd4f8d97dc0488221.gif)
