Adobe Fresco is an incredible tablet drawing app, and it's what I've switched to lately for drawing all my Character Animator puppets. In this tutorial I'll walk you through my workflow - how I draw animation-ready characters in Fresco, sync them to Photoshop on the desktop to organize them, and finally do some light rigging in Character Animator to bring them to life.
