How to get started in animation?

[Koguma]

Koguma, welcome!!!!!!. :) this thread is fine. You could also post in the seeking a partner/group thread if you like.
I would recommend you message Arapersonica here on the forums. she just joined. She is also teaching herself 2d animation and started a deviantart study group for it. I know her personally and she is friendly and very helpful and will be full of resources and knowledge.

Thank you!! <3 I'll message her

When it comes to books I know that "Animator's survival kit" is popular one for foundation.

I'll check it out, thanks for the advice
