Awhile ago I posted this image of a girl and a tree, clouds, etc. It was done for a slideshow presentation. I got the idea of animating it so that the slideshow wasn't just a bunch of static images. It's short and sweet, but it helps convey the meaning of the illustration which is to show the wind blowing.

Glad you liked it! All the art was done in Xara, exported as PDF and imported into Toon Boom Studio where I did the animation. The WAV for the wind sound was 8 seconds and the framerate I use for animation is 24 fps, so it was around 192 frames.
Once it was in TBS I just picked it apart and animated the various elements: clouds, tree, bird, butterfly, girl. I did a 3 part tutorial on my YouTube channel showing how I go from Xara to TBS. The first part is shown below.
