Character Drawing

36k

A character designer (also known as a character artist) crafts a character's complete concept, style, and artwork from the ground up. This frequently entails a thorough examination of the character's mentality in order to form a mental image of the character's physical characteristics.

A caricature is a rendered image that simplifies or exaggerates the attributes of its subject through sketching, pencil strokes, or other artistic creations (compare to: cartoon).

  • Make it a habit to draw every day.
  • Investigate fictional characters from popular culture.
  • Create a visual library of your own.
  • Select your tools.
  • Begin by sketching curves.
  • Make a face and eyes.
  • Create your own body language and positions.
  • Keep the best features of a sketch.

  • Know who you're trying to reach. The demographic of the project will influence whether the character design is simple or sophisticated.
  • Develop your world-building skills.
  • Recognize the language of shapes.
  • Investigate the personality of the character.
  • Experiment with different colours.
  • Maintain a straightforward approach.

Character design is the process of fully developing a character's style, personality, behaviour, and overall visual appearance in the visual arts. This means that every detail of a character, such as shapes, colour palettes, and details, has been carefully chosen.
