Does Anyone Know A Drawing Or Animating Program That They Would Recommend? I've Been Testing A Ton Of

Does anyone know a drawing or animating program that they would recommend? I've been testing a ton of them out and so far all the ones I've tried have either lacked basic functions, been expensive, or are just very difficult to use. I think I can make due with using the drawing programs that I've found so far for drawing and making a comic that I've been wanting to. But I really want to start animating as well.

I was going to make a holiday drawing for today and I had it lined, colored, and textured. It even had a background which I rarely do. All I had to do was add shading and highlights. And then it deleted itself and I didn't have the time to redo it so here's my first sketch. Happy holidays
