Hello Lafis,
I share your ambition to animate. I would strongly advise you to invest the time and watch https://cgcookie.com/course/short-film-character-production The concepts are solid even if the version of Blender is a little older.
I spent many hours just watching this course and learning what goes into a character like this. I have plans to go back and actually create the project. If you want, you can skip to lessons that interest you like the eyes or how to make a custom rig. I noticed that all of the parts to your UV Sphere character were assembled in Edit Mode which made them one object. You will have better control over your character’s eyes if they are separate objects.
I hope this is a good starting point for you.
