How are your 2d skills?

I feel like you might be jumping into 3d animation because of the convenience without yet knowing much about the theories of animation.

Try doing some 2d animations, you can torrent toonboom or tvpaint.

If you don't want to put in that much effort, at least try doing some planning, draw out some of your key poses, etc, know what you're going to animate and if it looks right before opening up maya.

Again though, I think you ought to study up some more on the fundamentals of animation, you've probably been recommended it before, but try the Animator's Survival Kit.

Here's a link
