Hail, first of all, you're a very talented animator, and keep up the great work. I'm looking to start animating, and I've looked across your website and such for this answer, and I'm sure it's somewhere so I'm sorry to ask, but could you say what software you use to draw and animate? Also, and advice for a very-beginner besides plenty of practice?

Try reading the animators survival guide as basics (if you dont know how to draw, then do this first, do not try to animate without being able to draw basics!!).
In terms of animation itself I use flash cs6 but you can try out toon boom if you want to do more puppet rig/tweens instead of fbf animations.
