- If you've ever wanted to create your own animated puppet with Adobe Illustrator and Character Animator, this step by step guide will walk you through customizing a template character and turning them into whatever you want! Today I'll be taking the free "Blank" example puppet (available on pages.adobe.com/character/en/...) and turning it into a new female character with eye / mouth / hand triggers, physics-enabled hair, basic arm structure, and more!

I get really frustrated when trying you research tutorials on CZcams. Half the time they spend 90% of it going over stuff that's not at all relevant to the name of the video and I find myself skimming through the video to find what I was looking for. This video was gold! Perfect to a T
Yees exactly!
This is wonderful. It's so helpful to have a top down view of the process from beginning to end. I've watched every video ever released on this channel, made tons of puppets and cartoons and I still get lost at times. These "birds eye view" videos really help especially with the constantly changing ( that is to say "improving " ) features. Thank you Mr Samurai. You're an Okay guy!
Totally useful tutorial!!!! I always roll my eyes whenever there's a video that's really long.... But you just get right into it and get to the points right away... No fluff, no unnecessary chatter... I'm impressed. Every minute is packed with details that count... You demystified it for all of us that always wanted to animate but couldn't deal with some of those other programs. Thank you so much!!!
For anyone looking, the Blank character is now under pro puppets (as of 8/31/23)
I can't find "pro puppets"
This is so helpful. Thank you for including and not cutting out when there's glitches and showing how to fix those. I've only watched this one video and I feel like I'm ready to make a whole cartoon series!
Dave, you’re such an asset to the burgeoning Character Animator community. Thank you for making these high quality tutorials, tips vids and generally sharing your experience with us all. 🙌
Dave, is it possible to use a character as a template to them edit its features into a new character?
That tutorial is so clear, so you can easily understand how things work tougher. Stuff like this for sb who knows a little something but needs to learn a whole new world to get something out of it. Brilliant channel!
Your dedication to helping people is amazing, thank you so much !
Thank You so much for this tutorial! I was terrified about learning this program but your videos are so to the point and clear it makes it fun and easy! Much appreciated!
5 mins in and I am already mind-blown with the number of things I didnt realise I could do!! So cool.
Been putting off learning CA, but now I love it and have made my first character! This has been great during these crazy times. Ty!
Your tutorials are amazing! They are all that one needs to get started!
Just started using Adobe Character Animator. Fantastic tutorial about character rigging! Hoping to manipulate one of the pre-designed puppets soon, and create my own animated puppet.
Thank you :)
You have helped me so much Dave. I'm learning slowly and my character is getting better every week! Thanks for everything. You are awesome!
Nice to know this takes weeks. I am just starting.

I love your channel! Im a newbie when it comes to animation, and your videos helped me so much!!

I am using Adobe Character for an e e-learning course which we have to create in university. I am making a course for kids and it's amazing what I am now able to do! I've never thought I would be able to do this, but now my first character is created and she looks like little me which is stunning! I am sure the other course members will be blown away!
Without this video I would never ever have been able to do this!
That's great to hear, made my day - thanks!

I'm feeling less scared of Illustrator thanks to this video. I need to jump in and get over my Photoshop dependency. Also, I really liked seeing this whole process in real-time. Thanks Dave!
Haha, it's funny, cause I am pretty confident with illustrator but always shied away from Photoshop. Good luck, hope it goes well.
The Tutorials are some of the best I have seen. PLEASE make your cursor bigger to make it easier for us older folks to follow 🙏🏻. Thanks for everything!
Installed, everything works, thanks!
Awesome as always. You're a legend mate! 😁
Wow, you're a genius. It's really cool.

Thank you.
Thank you
A really easy going toturial, love it ☀️
Only downside is that the programme can't change your voice and I did have trouble about delete a scene and after downloading
Maybe just beginner mistakes that this video don't cover
Adobe Audition or other audio apps can change your voice. We don't recommend doing it until after lip sync because the variations could create inaccurate results.
To delete a scene, just select it in the project panel and press delete.
i cant wait to get better and then apply to work for the adobe animator team =]]]]]
Do you prefer fresco or illustrator for creating puppets?? And I’ve Been binging your videos while I cram all this knowledge into a week! Thanks for always getting back to me!
You know, it really depends on the style of character I'm going for. I really love the hand drawn look, and for that it's hard to beat Fresco. But when I do more flat, cel-shaded type characters, I go with Illustrator. I have more fun drawing in Fresco, but I love the vector tools of Illustrator.
