Watch the ones that seem useful, like anticipation, easing, pose dynamics, etc
Watch Alan Becker’s 12 principles of animation (optional)
This one, you might hate but you gotta move EVERY limb in EVERY FRAME. Its annoying at first but youll get used to it.
A mistake i see ppl do is that they focus on literally just one limb, and after theyre done with that limb, they realise that the stick is literally freezing constantly so theyll end up quickly adding other limb movements rushingly. It makes anims look like a mess.
Basically tl;dr, humans dont only move one limb at a time. They have gravity. They react to the things going on around them. Animate sticks like humans.
Final tip? Dont rush to get good. Take your time to get used to the pace of improvement. And when youve gotten used to harder animation methods, start improving. Dont do what I did, since it got me demotivated like crazy and destroyed all my ambition to animate. I improved alot and set new standards for my animating but it was way too annoying to animate said standards. And lowering those standards makes you feel garbage. Either sides get you demotivated. That’s why ypu should take your time with improvement.
I think anyone can animate good through time and patience.

I wish I knew how to animate better
But it’s also old
