animation practice

I read there should be a balance between slow and fast moves, so that the animation doesn’t get boring or unnatural looking, also some places where the eye can rest on. Tried to follow the advice here. 

I’m also starting to animate in a mix of pose to pose and straight ahead, doing the main action pose to pose and ajust little movements like the tail straight ahead afterwards. It’s a nice method because it brings spontaneity and fun into the animation but still has a main flow and focus.
