Is there Division in animators ?

the one who do character animation
and those who do other animations...
or just single person handles all work

Since these two are almost the same question I think they can both have the same answer.

Yes you can learn all of those skills, but if you spend your time trying to learn them all your work would be average or poor. Unless you're one of those people who are so good at everything.

I think there is a difference between character animators, dynamics animators, visual effects animators, etc. Depending on the studio you work for you might have to do other animations if you can. Again, the more skills you have the more valuable you are but your quality might not be as good so your value is less. Hope that made sense :)

what a Fantastic and decent answer
perfect

i just want to ask one more question
do the character artist handles facial expressions also,
or these are separate artist

if i improves the quality of my
characters acting (facial expression)
can it win me a job and value?

Yes, the character animator will have to do the facial expressions too. Anything that you think you would have to 'act' that's what the character animator does.
