Ok-- for animations, I usually draw a few "frame guidelines," sketches of the poses I want to draw the character in. (Frame guidelines are optional, but I recommend them-- it lets you see how fluent your animation is without drawing all the frames to find out that it looks choppy.) For example, in this animation I drew a few sketches of this cat with its fur in different positions. Next, I draw the final frames using the guidelines as a base, and adding "in-between" frames, frames that are basically drawings of what between the two pictures would be. For example, with this, I had a frame where the cat's fur was pointed up, and a frame where the cats fur was pointed down. I drew a picture of the cats hair in the middle and put it between those frames-- to give a fluent transition from frame to frame.
