== Skeleton construction ==
 
 
Add a {{Literal|Skeleton layer}}, if your {{l|Canvas}} is empty you can do that from the {{l|Global Menu|global}} or {{L|Caret|caret}} menus {{c|<Layer>|<New Layer>|<Other>|Skeleton|}}. If your canvas is not empty, right clicking inside the {{l|Layers_Panel}}. You have create the first bone of your Skeleton, this is your first parent bone.
 
 
Once you have a {{Literal|Skeleton layer}}, the first bone appears. Each bones have few {{l|Handle|handles}} to control them : Origin, Angle, Length, Bone Wight and Tip Width. Take a look inside the {{l|Parameters Panel}} of the {{Literal|Skeleton layer}}, those handles are relative to some of those values (with some advanced parameters). So with the Bones {{l|Handle|handles}} you can easily move and adjust part of your Skeleton.
 
 
Now, you can had child bone. Right click on any {{l|Handle|handles}} of the parent bone you want and select {{Literal|Create Child Bone}}.
 
 
{{Literal|Skeleton layer}} when created, are {{l|Canvas Layer Menu|Disabled from rendering}}.
