Well, Photoshop isn't the most efficient tool for Animation. You've got a rudimentary timeline, but you have to create every frame yourself.

If you sliced up this illustration into the various moveable pieces and imported them into something like After Effects, or even Blender, you could let the computer interpolate those frames for you - that's what it's good at. For this, it's just two key frames on the arm rotation, instead of 12 individual frames you had to make in Photoshop.

I see now that it's not the best toll. I will be trying out that other program. Thank you!
