I want to learn 2d animation but..

LeeMeredith

I can't draw well, I've tried to learn to draw using crtl paint website but I get so bored and don't know if it's actually helpful towards 2d animation (surely it is) 

2d animation seems so free and creative compared to 3d (which I still love) Anyone have any suggestions to kick-start my learning process? anyone gone through a similar situation with 3d to 2d?

just fyi the kind of 2d I'd love to create is castle crashers, day of the tentacle, skull girls etc

I'm not an animator but I love researching traditional animation all the time.

If you're serious about learning, you can try hitting up many free web resources about it. You can also look into picking up 2 great books. Disney Animation: The Illusion of Life and The Animator's Survival Kit.

Draw A Box will do you more good than CTRL Paint, it's specifically for drawing with pencil and paper, away from any computer and wacom:
