Your answer is to vage in the terms that what you just asked takes volumes of information.
Read book and take curses about the subject, google and youtube are your friends.

But if you want a hand on where you could start:
>Read the sticky (both links)
>Look the animation thread (also the archived ones)
>Watch feng zhu design cinema (specifically the podcasts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVwrjbSV29c&list=PLWk2oes70qC2Z7tii5R8JUdI7cdXDEZKC ) and extracredtis. they don't talk about animation specifically, extracredits is not even about illustration, but they'll help you to understand the industry and helpful stuff related to work and project management.
