How can I effectively use layers in Adobe Illustrator to manage complex comic book artwork, including characters, backgrounds, and lettering?

Organize your artwork on separate layers for easy management. Create layers for different elements: characters, backgrounds, speech bubbles, sound effects, and lettering. Use sublayers within each main layer to further organize. Lock layers to prevent accidental edits. Use the layer opacity controls to preview elements. This makes it easy to edit, reorder, and isolate parts of your work.
