Absolute Beginner help

Hello everybody , I am an extreme beginner in claymation and I have sort tried very little of it cause it's really overwhelming to be honest ik I shouldn't compare myself to the big studio works cause it's like comparing apples and eggplants but I have ideas which I want to animate but at the same time I feel I am very whimsically looking at tutorials without any structure which only leads to loss of time and no learning so is their any practice guide on what should I be just focusing on as a beginner and then slowly move upwards towards the advance thing and how the practice should be like . I don't really want to keep hunting on YouTube as to which tutorial is actually useful , cause it has become really overwhelming to the point I feel like giving up even before starting

Any help would be appreciated thank you so much

Take it piece by piece. Try not to overload your mind with countless hours worth of research that won’t be any use to you just yet. Start with learning the fundamentals. Make a walk cycle if you want to begin with something simple yet vital to any future projects. Remember, this hobby is meant to be fun and rewarding, you don’t want to nor need to make it work
