Start with a small video about something simple then work your way up to more complex videos. Crowd scenes are the hardest thing to draw up them in if you need them Get Adobe Animate. The other software that comes with it is very versitile. If you want free software I recommend Krita then you need to find some video edditing software to put it in like Davinci Resolve ( A free Adobe premiere equivalent Get a good microphone. You will probably want to record voices. Watch this video about the 12 principals of animation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDqjIdI4bF4&t=1s Look at Storyboarding videos to learn about shot composition. I really like Storyboarding the Simpsons way.https://www.animationmeat.com/pdf/televisionanimation/strybrd_the_simpsonsway.pdf Look at the Gravity Falls model pack for inspiration. It has the model sheets and lip syncs for the show. You can use this to help you make your own. https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1sp6of5KhgUpn_L1oFhVqyvAl4YfH_n7s Get the animators survival kit. https://www.amazon.com/Animators-Survival-Kit-Principles-Classical/dp/086547897X Get Animation 1. https://www.amazon.com/Cartooning-Animation-Preston-Blair-animate/dp/1633227731/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2Z2DTUORGKHG3&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.6mQ4ERkQQZdaonscuH_JoJCgmPodrP84BZ6Upjxle1F2F8crPvujgxM_ZkjH6PEY26IrZm3EOePZus4OSro9_wCY3wSnG-KE9DnFoCW2TRNPF8SZKcxGJYGUxR3Z2HAOBRbB-VGpXpQ8ZzBui_1IgBxOQm2g-05pVAVsotraXW70iVX3R8EJK-RbyO4hG8NlWy_krb3HkvmEoIiWjlbm27AapcexUZu5hIFK_MIPBnA.848jqs_s5gtaKArq2ZE44OCSLtph7oWhzBNeywHisa4&dib_tag=se&keywords=animation+1&qid=1768603947&s=books&sprefix=animation+1%2Cstripbooks%2C119&sr=1-1 Watch this video on how to storyboard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTrUcTAXQz8 If something is hard to animate, record yourself doing the action and use that as refrence footage. If you have a software like Adobe Media encoder you can turn the video into an image sequence and anylize the individual frames its easier than pausing at the right time. Study real world items and use them as inspiration for your props. Something my art teacher taught me. Don't draw the stereotype of a bird. Look at actual birds and use that as inspiration for your work. For example if I needed to draw a refrigerator I would go to my refrigerator, look at the inside of my refrigerator, Look at refrigerators on Amazon because they usually have 3d mode, and look at youtube videos about refrigerators . You don't need to copy them beat for beat but you can take elements from them as inspiration. Your props will always look better and people will notice. That is what the professionals do. For example when making Toy Story 3 the animators actually visited the dump for research. Study anatomy. It will help you adapt to any art style and it will help you move the joints properly even if you are making really cartoony stuff. If you want to draw animals use real world animals as inspiration. If you want standard cartoon clothes draw them off the top of your head. If you want more detailed clothes look at actual clothes at old navy and what not and use them as inspiration.
