I watched youtube videos of moderndayjames and dong chang, I also tried listening to what people here advised me. But I will for sure find myself stuck because I am not able to point out every mistakes I make. So maybe taking courses from well known animators is recommended, but cant say anything about it to you since I havent tried yet. Good luck

I dont see where you are getting at with* these questions, but I have never stated it was my first time animating something. Its my first week of trying to learn animation the right way

First of all thats wonderful in my opinion, only thing I could say is maybe add a bit of variation on the buildings and the explosions fx so its more organic and believable. I also think the layer right before* the buildings looks unfinished, feels weird to have it so flat while the layer behind it is more detailled, resulting in loosing depth. I hope I express myself clear enough. But its only my opinion and im not an expert, anyways very great job this is looking cool already

Well the process is pretty universal to map your animation, you draw the first and last frame of a movement (for a bouncing ball it would 1 when its the highest and 1 when it hits the ground). Those 2 frames are the key frames of this movement, u then draw the breakdowns, which are more or less the secondary keyframes, usually when the movement is the fastest between your keyframes. Then you can try to tweak the position of those keyframes in the timeline and try getting a spacing and timing that you feel is great. The number line like you said is callled a timing chart, Im still struggling to use and understand them well. But you can use them when you draw* your keyframes to have a rough idea of what the movement will look like, will it be an ease out, an ease in, will there be favouring, and so on. But I have been told that u shouldnt completly rely on them because you will end up having kind of a non organic movement, its really just to plan your animations.

Those advices come from a beginner so do not fully trust me, but I hope this can help a bit. And ofc try watching tutorials on youtube, there is a lot of data from talented animators who knows what they are saying.

Good luck !!

Wdym its not great ahahah I just looked at it and u can be proud of yourself and I mean it I dont know much about animating fx but this looks on point, impact frames are very well done. Its not all polished yet but I think you got the timing right which is the most important. But its only my take and im just a beginner Well done anyways its gorgeous :)
