This might seem like a newbie question but I am going through these forums seeing mazing looking characters and amazing characters in animation. The characters featurs don't move around their bodies like mine do. How can I make a characters features stay in one place on their body while walking around? Thanks in advance!

I guess that your walking character is using a bone layer...
Just add more bones to the skeleton and attach the features to those bones. You can use also existing bones if you want.
To attach a vector art to a bone you can place it inside its region influence or make a direct bind of the points using "Bond Points" tool.

Maybe try putting image layers inside group layers. HTH
