Watch my Skillshare course on rigging with Duik Bassel: https://skl.sh/2U4OYdA

In this video, I'll show you my process for designing a character in Adobe Illustrator for rigging in Adobe After Effects using Duik Bassel. We'll talk about how I plan out my character design, build the character with rigging in mind, and use Duik to rig and add an automatic walk cycle to the rig.
