Need help with basics

[Animator.Noob]

Beginner here, I would love to know whether if I  create my character in Photoshop where I love to draw and paint ( the brushes are SOOO Good) and then use this as a character in Animate in frame/frame animation or maybe by rigging???

Any help would be appreciated. 

thank you

yes, you can use the bone tool in animate to rig a bitmap created in photoshop.

don't spend a lot of time in ps while in testing phase:

create a rough character in ps. export a bitmap.

open animate > click file > click import to stage

right click the imported bitmap > click trace and select not too detailed settings to convert to a shape

now, learn how to use the bone tool:
