I also just got procreate dreams and it's missing so many tools so I'd advise against that app! ... Krita is 100% free and basically has the same interface as photoshop, so i recommend that, it has a lot of good 2d animation tools as well

For future people looking through this comment section, Rough Animator seems to be a 7.99 one time purchase on the google play store, so it's not legally free. It does have free trials on mac and windows, but I'm not sure how long that goes for.

... I built Kidz Fun Art over the last couple of years. It has a simple to use but pretty powerful animation feature, along with many more features like making comics and generating coloring pages with AI.

TVpaint has phenomenal drawing tools, but it's much more geared towards traditional methods of animation and if I recall correctly doesn't have things like tweening. Blender probably has blending modes and everything you're looking for but it can be overwhelming in it's options s...

I recommend Synfig, Natron or any video editor for Cut-Out and Pencil 2D or Gimp for frame by frame, combining them (Specially Natron, Synfig and Pencil 2D) is very powerfull (all of these are free and open-source BTW), i dont recommend Blender ...

If those aren't viable options, there are still a several good alternatives depending on the hardware you're using - Krita, Flipaclip, Toonsquid, Cartoon Animator 5, Pencil2D, Procreate & ProcreateDreams -- to name a few.
