For a change of pace, I decided to work through some of Tony White's book, The Animator's Workbook. This is a head turn exercise where you're supposed to arc the turn down first and then arc it up on reverse. An eye blink is added on the down arc. The other simple bits are my additions. I've worked very rough here. Thanks to JK for the suggestion to reduce the opacity of the drawing tool.

Fun stuff, Jimmy. Maybe a little too fast so you may want to experiment with your timing. Be sure that you lead with the eyes and remember everything doesn't move at the same time or at the same speed. I'm not sure why you put a blink in after he finished the turn. A blink during the turn is OK but the second blink is distracting. Practice this head turn movement using several different emotional states like curious, scared, casual etc. just to get a sense of how the timing will vary depending on how the character is feeling. Keep it up your doing great.
OK, thanks for your comment, JK. Exactly the helpful feedback that I need and am very grateful for. I'm going to incorporate your suggestions and spend some more time with this.
