I am a fellow noob. What I do is basically just come up with an idea, then work on it. Currently I am trying to make a new animation, and I have been working on it for two weeks now. (it isnt even halfway done yet). Just stick with it. If a frame takes two days to finish so that you are happy, take two days to make that frame. Also, I am going to follow u because I know how hard it is starting animation. I am dealing with that difficulty now.
