needs at least 1 more frame of the ball hitting the ground imo

Where'd all that horizontal movement come from?

You're supposed to decrease the frame count the faster the object is falling.
So there actually should be less frames before and after the point of contact.
>>2998586
The ball shouldn't be squished that much along the X axis before falling or at the point of
contact.
When it's falling it needs to be going faster as it's coming closer to the ground and during that
process the X axis should be squishing inwards and Y axis outwards slightly as if the ball is
getting thinner.
Then it squishes x outwards, y inwards during the point of contact.
Then the "thinning" of the ball happens again but rotated in regards to ball direction and angle.

You're welcome.
Looks great though, most of us animators started with the ball animation and for characters the
jumping animation.
If you're going into this kind of work you'll thoroughly enjoy it :)

I suck at animation and i suck even more at drawing. I figure if I keep fucking doing it every
day I'll eventually get better. Peer review really helps get the job done though.

Draw your shit to scale... that means time too. Graph out what (9.8m/s)^2 looks like when you
drop the ball, then draw the ball on those positions on the keyframes.
And yeah, dwell one more frame on the ball contact, draw it flattened to give the impression of
deceleration and spring.
The timing lends accuracy, but the squash adds liveliness.

Practice makes perfect.
I was completely horrid myself, I even got too dependent on drawing by hand.
When I had to use Photoshop for professional work it took me a long time to get better using that
- but most of the time now I only do it for quick storyboards for 3d animation.
And don't even get me started on animation in 3d programs, that's a whole other story lol

Yeah it depends what kind of animation you're going for.
Exaggerating the animation poses for something more abstract or not too much exaggeration for
something being realistic.

If you're actually serious about the art, "The Animator's Survival Kit" by Richard Williams is a
MUST HAVE resource. Easily found on the interwebs. Agood torrent will have the book AND the
example files. Everything you need to understand is in there.

Heard about that one, meant to buy one but I'm a poor fag.
Torrenting seems like a good option
