If you were to animate a human figure

If you are to animate some one like SpongeBob…
The things to consider will be what? :confused:
According to my little knowledge I would suggest
-A character
-The character’s head drawing facing left right and front
-Shadow line
-Eye,mouth and nose&ear(optional for some)
-Lightning …
The rest I don’t know but I will try in my free time to animate on but not sure it will be nice.
Give me some suggestions you know👻
Thank you
