11 - FK arm and aligned control curves (Cartoon character rigging series)
Now we have the IK its time to start adding the FK controls.
One important thing with any controls used for rotation is that the rotation aligns with the joints, that way we don't get any offset or skewing as we rotate. So we also go over how we can make the controls align with the arm joints but still keep zero rotations in the channel box for easy animation.
