How to make your character move in front of the moving background

 * 1) Open your animation with moving skyscrapers or building (your choice)
 * 2) **Add a new layer** and rename it **character**.
 * 3) **Draw a character in frame 1** of your character layer. Your character should be very simple. Here's an example of a simple character: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/comic-riffs/wp/2014/03/20/spring-equinox-artist-eleanor-davis-on-the-joy-and-learning-curve-of-creating-todays-blob-lady-google-doodle/
 * 4) **Bring your character to life - make they move:**
 * Turn on your **onion skins** tool on so you will see your background changing over time and the last position of your character.
 * **Insert BLANK KEYFRAMEs very other frame** to redraw your character to make the alive. Make your character walk, run, glide, stroll, etc. **They should not be stiff!**
 * Make it realistic - **REDRAW** the figure every blank keyframe to create life-like movement. NO STIFF figures! **Your figure should not bump into the terrain/objects on your moving background**
