aww, I'm sorry :(
I'm actually...pretty horrible with shading though. My image of Sou has very -minimal- shading because I have trouble understanding how lights should be hitting the subject from their light source. I honestly wish I was alot better with art myself. Its partially what I went to college for, but I'm not good enough for a job, so, struggling with finding anything atm. orz

I'm sure there's something you can do and are really good at though! Like I personally struggle drawing any kinds of animals and sprites confuse the heck out of me.

@Pokemon Trainer Sarah~aww ty hehe
But for the animation, I just grabbed a gif on the net and popped it into Photoshop. When a gif, in CS5 opens in photoshop and you open the animation panel, there should be a layer for each frame in the animation. I cropped down the image, grouped it then took it into my banner file where I shrunk down the group to shrink down all the images to my desired size. After that, I made a custom shape (the pokeball), selected the outside of it after positioning it over my Sylveon image, then literally deleted everything outside each frame individually. After that, you can just go back into the animation panel and set the frames/layers up :>
At least thats what I did. I hope that makes sense lol
