Animating Spirograph In this tutorial we will create spirograph style animation using any version of Illustrator and After Effects. A Spirograph is a curve formed by rolling a circle inside or outside of another circle. The pen is placed at any point on the rolling circle. Hope you have created lots of spirograph in the childhood.

Step 1: Create a new 1024 x 768 pixels size document inside illustrator and select an Ellipse Tool (L) to draw the circle or any shape you like. Press Shift for creating a perfect circle. Just remember that line color is black and Fill color is transparent.
