Rigging is an advanced technique that I used when I created my character. There are many advanced  tools in rigging such as creating with mirror tool, editing armature adding bones, and integrating when sticking the bones together.

Creating:
When I started creating my model I used an advanced tool which is mirror. The advantage thing of using mirror is when you are working on one side of your character you don't need to go over the other side of your character and work the same thing again. The mirror tool is very useful in blender to use especially the most complex thing that you are working on. An example of this is once I was watching video someone was creating a gun in blender. There are many complex parts in the gun and the mirror was very useful he had only to concentrate on only one side of the gun and it will be easily shown on the other side through the mirror. Therefore as a beginner blender user I belief that the mirror tool was really useful when I created my character and it helped my to save a lot of time to complete my character.

Editing:
I started editing when I used the armature tool and added bones to my character. I added one bone in the middle of my character then I stretch it to the middle bottom of my character then I started to copy and subdivide the bones. When I finished one half of the body then the mirror tool again played big role and I didn't have to pull and subdivide the bones again on the other side of the body. After I finished the whole body adding the bones I did my walk cycle then I add empty and made my character walking around the world in blender. Therefore armature is really advanced tool and it helped me to create my walk cycle through following the movement on picture.

Integrating:
Joining all the bones in the body is one of the advance tools which it called integrating. After I joined all the bones I started doing the walk cycle. At the walk cycle I started to move the bones and then then highlight the whole bones and record the movement in the timeline according to the time that had been given at the picture that I used.
