Hmm… this shouldn't be so hard to figure out.

Do any of you guys know how to draw just a part of an image, like what you would do to draw an animation where you just want to draw a small part of the whole texture?

Not sure if you are talking about 2D or 3D drawing, but I will guess 2D. If it is 3D you may get more help from Gordon or Sasha. For 2D textures (drawn using a SpriteBatch), all you need to do is use one of the overloads of Draw() that takes a parameter for a source rectangle. See MSDN for a list of the overloads (or use IntelliSense in XNA studio). By the way, there is an overview of some of the 2D stuff here, but it is not really detailed…
