I really want to pursue animation as a career yet I haven't even begun in making one, I'm anxious and I don't know where to start and I'm still learning anatomy.
If anyone could tell me , it would be greatly appreciated. I' just wanna draw my ocs man🥀A_A_sobbing A_A_rip

I haven't really attempted it much but it's a bit of a nervous subject (I have anxiety overall but this is something I really want to do just don't know how)

I don't know much about the subject, but I have a friend who is studying animation at university. I could ask her for some tips on how to get started ^^
It's very likely that they'll make you learn 3D sculpting, so I can ask her about that too if you're curious

The first thing i suggest you do is review the principles and fundamentals of animation. And for a long while, just do simple animations. Like balls bouncing or flour sack animations. Theyre less interesting but its better to get a feel for things simply, than to try and get a feel for it complexly. Otherwise you wont really get a sense for it. In animation classes they make you do simple animations first. My professor had me do a simple 2d ball bounce, a ball bounce in a 3d space with a tail, then flour sacks interacting with 3d spaces. Theyre not as interesting as full character animation, but you cant run when you can barely crawl
