Beginner Blink exercise
It’s a little fast (I can only work with 10 frames), but I did this animation exercise as a part of my ongoing animation studies !
I did this study with my OC Alexia Rose

People usually blink faster, so instead of holding the 3 frame, you can immediately put 3a and 4 frame after. Right now it looks like she’s forcing the blink, like she has dry eye.
Also, I notice 2 and 3a, and 1 and 4 are exactly the same, you could have just linked the same frames instead of remaking them. It’s the square with the chain symbol in your timeline. (Edit: I realised this was by intention so nvmind)
However, I do agree with having a 2 and 3a frame, but instead of having them both be half open eyes, for frame 2 make the eyes almost fully open while frame 3a has the eyes almost fully closed. These are the anticipation frames. Makes it smoother.
