    Hey @donbonbon 

    Just wanted to say welcome as well! 

    Also wanted to put in my two cents 😉

    Both these guys are right, the animation courses on here are fantastic! Wayne is a great teacher, and he makes the courses fun to watch and follow along with! Just make sure you take your time going through all the fundamental stuff! I made the mistake of rushing through it, because I wanted to get to the character parts. It ended up biting me in the butt, so now I’m going back through it and taking my time. If it takes you a week to get a basketball rolling across the screen to look right, then it takes a week. It will make you better in the long run! The next time you do it, it will be a piece of cake, and take you not nearly as long. Because you took the time to figure it out the first time! Animation is very hard, but if you have a solid foundation it will make it so much easier!

    There are a lot of great modeling courses on here too! If you’re completely new to blender, I would recommend going through the Blender Basics course. They go over the essentials of every discipline in Blender, which will help get you going!

    One last note, I’m interested in rigging as well! Just learn the basics for now. Then once you get comfortable animating, start learning more advanced rigging. That way you can learn how things should or shouldn’t work, and make rigs that will behave and move in a predictable way.

    Hope that was helpful!
