you may rotoscope it but it wont be 3d then it would be 2d form of animation , also you may make a 3d model of that character given that you have the both perspective of the image (xz.yz), then you may rig it and animate it , there are no shortcuts unless you already have a rigged copy of the character .
my tip would be to watch the whole course at 1.25x, no offence intended but it would value your time
