: Methodology for cartoon animation- technique of making components to easily have movement in frames I want to make an animation of cartoon characters. I do not want to draw them from scratch

I want to make an animation of cartoon characters. I do not want to draw them from scratch each time. I would like to use adobe illustrator because I believe that it will be the best for making separate arms legs etc that can be moved between frames. And that each frame is saved as an image to then be combined.

Can someone outline the structure for such drawings and considerations that must be made?

The short answer is: use Symbols and Layers. The slightly longer answer:

Each frame of your animation will be on one layer in Illustrator.

Each part that will animate should be a symbol. Make them movieclips if you plan on taking the animation to Flash, After Effects or Photoshop.

This page has links to video tutorials that will help.
