My big goal when i first got into digital art was making animations and yours looks rly nice. I kinda got carried away with some other pieces and as i just was in the new starwars i will try and draw a scenario from the film but i still want to get into animating some time. Do you have any tips that might help a beginner?

Glad to hear you are interested in animating
There are plenty of tips I can give, but the most important one for absolute beginners is to not get too ambitious and take it slow, regardless of your current drawing skills. Animation requires skills that one wouldn't usually have by just being good at drawing, and getting too ambitious and getting stuck early tends to make a lot of beginners quit before they even finish a single animation.
So, just take it easy, focus on simple things like stickmen or simple shapes until you get used to the animation process itself.
I will have a tutorial up in a few weeks on some animation basics, so that may be of help as well.

Thank you for the advice i would rly like to see the tutorial and i think i will search some other tutorials on youtube... tomorrow i have a lot of time so i think i will try and finish some drawing stuff so i can get into animating without anything distracting me... btw which program are you using because i think that krita(which i use for drawing) has a animation mode

Krita does have an animation mode and may be ok to try if you will keep it real simple, but as soon as you try anything more, it will not do.
I use OpenToonz for all my animations. It's free and powerful, but complex and sometimes buggy. I have a tutorial for getting started to at least help people get past the complexity:
[TUTORIAL] Start animating with OpenToonz 1.2Welcome to the second verson of my beginner OpenToonz tutorial!
This tutorial is about setting OpenToonz up and how the basic tools work so you can start making simple animations in it. More specific tutorials may come in the future.
The images are smaller for easier scrolling so click them to look at the big versions.
I will assume some basic computer literacy but if anyone finds anything hard to follow, let me know in the comments and I will try to help.
At the very bottom you will see a few sample animations which which can be made using only tools explained in this tutorial (animation skills not included).
[[ If during the tutorial you see an italic paragraph in square brackets like this one, you are free to skip it since it does not contain information required for the tutorial. Bu you may read through it to get further insight into some features that will be covered in further tutorials but for now will just have a short summary for those curious
