[@mrabintom]

This guy is growing fast, and I LOVE IT!

Been looking to learn about animating more due to jumping into animation a few months ago. I have been enjoying it but i would like to learn more, I will have to sit through some of these lessons. I'm hoping I can figure out how to create my own spaceman for a video I have planned. Also, love the home / rocket / base. Just great, your work gives me lots of great ideas.

[@graphicdestination968]

where can i download side empty psd template?

[@YellowDogAnimations]

What size should I draw in for character animator? What’s the photoshop canvas size thanks

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

depends on yout output. For my stream puppet hes like 1920x1920 but I dont do heavy zoom ins on that

[@eunhye0614]

Wow, a good explanation. tnank you

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Cool, glad you liked it!

[@DrunkenAussieAdventures]

do you have to link your Ch with PS? cause whn i open Chloe PS doesn't open up

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Hey Oxmate, actually no. They should be linked automaticly. I Think you can find it manually too though: /Adobe char animator cc/support files/chprojs/getting started proj/Ch Media/Gathered media 2 /Chloe

[@DrunkenAussieAdventures]

@@ChrisOVEMERY Yes all good i figured it out.... i had to move them to where i wanted them... thanks for answering me.

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Oxmate np mate

[@juliusdurrfeld2289]

Love the music playing in the back, finally a good tutorials with decent music :D

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Haha thanks Julius!

[@_IsrealPerez]

do you draw it first then separate the layers with the selection tool? Or do you draw in separate layers?

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

I always draw in separate layers when creating a puppet. Check my Freelancing ep2 for more info

[@_IsrealPerez]

@@ChrisOVEMERY I will for sure! Thanks!

[@EduardoGiunta]

so dope........

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thanks man!!!!

[@yerkenutezhanov8557]

Great Video! How do you work with objects and props? For example, if a character wants to take something by hand, etc? thanks!

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Hey thanks man! I personally do the picking up-part as a frame by frame-animation Photoshop/aftereffects then when the prop is in the characters hand I'm back to character animator (just witch the prop now added to the chars hand)

[@chunkbulkhead]

thanks for the tips.

[@DanishKingKong]

great video! thanks for this workflow tip. - pro tip, use some more subtle music. The rack/punk background music is waaaay to busy, its hard to concentrate on what you are saying. :)

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

Thanks for the advice!

[@bvckychan]

can i have your pts file to practice ? :( (

[@ChrisOVEMERY]

I'm giving away some free puppets in my next video
