I'm not a professional, but if I were you, I would maybe check out the 12 Principles of Animation and learn them. If you know them, you will get way better at animation. And for your first 2D animation, I would definitely try the bouncing ball exercise, as you learn Squash and Stretch, easing/timing, and many other principles of the 12.
