if you want basic pivot tips, heres the thread your looking for.
you might already know this stuff but incase you dont here it is.
1.no double framing. use single frames only unless your trying to make something in slowmotion,then double frame and dont space out to much away from the onionskin.
2.take your time, of course yeah everyone says take your time, but that doesnt mean 10 minutes, unless its a test a good animation should take around 30 minutes atleast (unless its a long animation)
3.this may sound stupid but, if you cant get motions right... act it out, yeah thats right.. if something doesnt seem right about your motion, get your lazy ass off your chair and act it out yourself, then try to get it right
4.if you want to make someone run fast space out your frames, dont worry about smoothness no ones going to notice it since it looks like your going fast, but that doesnt mean give him a seizure still try to be a little cautious about how spaced out your frames are.
5.cant find a stick you need? make one (and take your time) if your trying to make something look a little rounded then make tiny little lines and curve them a little bit each, example: hank from madness (pivart)
6.if your making the screen look like its shaking about 5 frames should do
and those are things i do to make animations hope this helped
