How to animate

Hey guys! Some of you may know me from google, because i am kaykayanimates101! Today, i will teach you how to animate like any popular YouTuber (or at least). Just to let you know,animating is a series of just drawing frames over and over (for a heads up)
Basics
Before your animations turn out like this-
An animation/gif
You must have the right program to animate it with. Personally, when i animate, i use the software called Pencil2d as a beginner, for animating. So, before you download it, let me tell you some stuff about it, It doesn't have any viruses, It doesn't have any extra downloads that come with it (That definitely has viruses). It is easy to work with, and to learn how to animate.
