Keep the project small and save a separate working copy. App controls and available features can vary by version.
Plan the character
Sketch a simple front view. Choose clear shapes and decide which parts need to move.
Separate the artwork
Keep the head, torso, arms and legs on separate named layers. Place facial features where you can adjust them independently.
Draw and colour
Use a consistent palette. Keep joint areas overlapping so gaps do not appear when the limbs rotate.
Prepare for movement
Check layer order, tidy the file and save a clean character version before starting the rig.
Try it yourself
Create a short practice project using these steps. Play it back, make one improvement and save your result.
