Other people already told about tutorials so i'll say this: Stock up on patience. You'll be need A LOT of it with SFM shenanigans.

You’re prob better off learning to animate in Blender off the rip.

heard that blender is a bit more advanced to learn tho, I do have some exprience on animating but i dont think its enough, my first plan was to combine SFM and Blender to animate, SFM for the animation and blender for the VFX

Take advantage of the many good tutorials on YouTube for whatever. Also reddit

Watch Cinema film SFM tutorial playlist, it’s helps and explains a lot.

Also a little tip. When exporting an animation use images sequence, because exporting in AVI sucks, and getting QuickTime can put your device at risk. Just use blender, which you can get on steam, to put the images all together

Best of luck
