dude, i remember back when i wasnt much better than you are, and im gonna tell you what i did to become a little tiny bit better, where i am now lol
first, i took advice from a good friend, never posted my very early animations, read tuts, alot of practice.
i also posted in the general help forum, to get help on easing an spacind, and spent about 4 hours a day practicing on these styles.
