I'll agree with Gorsal. I think you should continue to practice making still sprites look good before moving on to animations. Either that or go all animation (with pre-made sprites, stickfigures, what have you) and *then* move on to sprites themselves (like I did); but don't try to do both before you're reasonably skilled in one of them first.
