Ok. So I use "Pivot Animator" for 2d animations.

1. Download the free software: http://pivotanimator.net/

2. The software is mainly built for creating stick figure animations, but there is more to it

3. If you want to use sprites, go ahead and download the sheets of sprites you want. My favorite website is this: https://www.spriters-resource.com/

4. Edit the sprite sheets by using the "Paint" software on your computer. 

5. On Paint, choose only one sprite, label it, save it, and repeat with the other sprites.

6. On Pivot Animator, load the sprites you edited, and start making your animation!!!!!

If you have any questions, just ask me!!

Well in that case, just download a simple program for animations that is free.

Draw whatever you desire.

Figure out a way to put it onto the computer, and continue!
