I am using Blender 2.82 for this.

To put it simply I am trying to move the cursor to a specific part of a pic I wanted. However I just can't seem to do it in a 2D animated project. I tried the cursor tool, the select box, I tried the move tool and holding things like Alt, Ctrl, and Shift to move the cursor but no luck. I even tried using the UV editor to move it but still nothing.

Note: I am selecting multiple strokes for this.

Duplicate of this (but the answer there doesn't explain how to do it for 2.8). – Ray Mairlot Jul 15 '20 at 09:34

If I understand right, you want to rotate around selected point.
You can either move Origin point or the 3D cursor.

Moving Origin Point

Enable Transform Origins Only in Sidebar > Tool > Options
Move the object's origin to desired location

Moving 3D cursor

Position the 3D cursor using the 3D cursor tool.
Switch Pivot point to > 3D Cursor
