the only thing i dont like about animating is that it takes SO MUCH TIME
and i believe that its only me because i'm new
i try to use hot keys as much as possible
i use tweens in every movement because otherwise it will look like shit since im using a trackpad and im not used to a mouse so its even worse
i tryed getting used to a mouse for about 2 weeks but im so used to the trackpad that i cant go back to using mouse
And i cant afford those tablet thingies.
the reason i use tweens is also because i believe that it helps me be faster than moving the lines frame by frame ( i use lines )
i really enjoy animating stickman animations but i have stopped doing it like 2 times and came back because im in love with it
but the reason i stop making them is because im so slow at it
i could probably make a decent 5 hit combo in 2 days...

I'm sorry but the only answer is practice

But using Tweens is faster than frame by frame right ?

not for everyone and tween animation is generally very limiting. dipi is right, efficiency comes only with practice.

-practice makes perfect
-setup and environmental friendly workspace by doing this http://i.imgur.com/UdwQFLO.png
-use hotkeys
for hot keys (Click to Show)

-dont be timid
-stay cool n be cool while animating, (listening to dubstep helps)
-get a decent CPU with ram
-Use the 15 minute rule. If you come up against a technical problem that you can't solve on your own in 15 minutes, do something else(they are always different angles)
-Watch this :^)
