I trained as an animator and really, if you want to be able to pick up any of these things, move to Los Angeles. Find classes, visit figure drawing sessions, find people who are in the industry or on its periphery. The internet spreads it out but you are still much more likely to luck into things like “hey my buddy is looking for help on a project” and “I’m gonna go visit my friend who works at WB, wanna come along?”. You may get some of this by joining animation forums. Join in stuff like “reanimation” projects or other weird passion projects. Don’t expect it to be paid for a depressingly long time. And personally? I use my animator training to draw comics and do commissions, it’s fucking grueling work. Even if you can get a union gig.
