ILLUSTRATOR.

AI is something i should have got to grips with ages ago. Since learning of its (and also Photoshop's) compatibility with After Effects, ive taken this off the back burner and started to try and understand the technicalities of working them both in tandem.

I got some tutorials off the technicians that suggested some very basic exercises with the pen tool (below). I think that the vector format will be useful for the animations i have in mind, as i can scale the illustrator files to any extreme and not worry about them pixelating. I hope to create the contents of my animations within AI and bring them to life in After Effects.
