yeah, i thought the same on how the beam should move away from where it was blasted from. Anyway, didnt want to put much of interest in the stick.
Is it good for a first beam though?
Yes, it is good for a first beam. However, your 2nd beam must be better!
lol, a crappy test that I thought fit here way more than in it's own thread:

I know it is sloppy, but I am using lowest smoothness setting, so that I can get used to drawing in flash, then slowly using the smoothness.
That was actually pretty good. There was some nice easing in there. However, the way it seemed he curved his fist inwards after he threw the punch seemed a little awkward. I suggest you straighten his arm out a little bit, and it will look much better.
