Woah tyyy!

Okay, here's what a layer is... how do I explain this.. well, a layer is just, a layer of a drawing. So, a layer on the bottom won't be able to overlap a layer on the top because it's below it. Make sense? So, if you do your line art on one layer, and then color on a layer below, the coloring won't overlap the line art. I hope you understand that?

and animating.... well, I think people say it's so hard, (which can be true, not always!) when it's really improvement that can be hard. Animating is easy, I took to it fast. Just draw one frame, and then the next, and then the next, and so on. My first animations sucked, I mean, they weren't downright awful, but they were bad. It took me months (not too many I don't think... but still quite a few) to see that drastic improvement, but it's there. You're always improving, which each frame, each sketch, everything, although sometimes you just can't see it. I think animating takes a lot of time, effort, and patience, but if you have that, you're good to go. Like I said, animating is easy most of the time (unless it's something long or complex haha) but it's really improving that can be difficult. Finding that right technique or finding that perfect color for your OC design can be hard, I know from experience. I took me a very long time to be comfortable and know what to do with my art style because I got to a point and genuinely didn't know where to go with it next, but I didn't want the improvement to just stop. I don't remember how, but somehow I got out of that and now my art style has grown and improved, and I'm sure the same will happen for you. Animating and improvement differ with each and every person. You might take longer or shorter to improve. Your growth will definitely differ from mine, this is all just from personal experience. I hope that wasn't to much to read.

ooh! Also, off topic discussion here sound great.
