: How to create ball moving under blanket effect I am trying to get an animation effect of a ball moving under a blanket with some resistance or a round object protuding out of a flat surface.

I hope I'm understanding your question correctly. Here's a video of what I would do.

Create a shape that simulates material drooping over the ball using
the pen tool:
Click on the top edge of the blanket shape and pull a handle out horizontally to the right
click on a point halfway up the ball

finish the shape, making sure it overlaps the ball

Copy the shape and transform > reflect (vertically)
Position these shapes to merge seamlessly with the edge of the ball

Merge the shapes using the pathfinder tool

Use that shape as a symbol in front of the blanket. As
it's the same colour as the blanket, viewer won't be able to
distinguish it as a separate shape. It will appear as though the blanket is being distorted.
