To give the design precision and emotion, elements like shape, harmony, proportion, balance, and variation must be blended. Volumes and forms, as well as lines, colours, and lighting, can be employed to convey the character's inner personality.

To create characters, character designers draw inspiration from the screenplay and concept art. They use artwork of face expressions and physical poses to depict the characteristics of the characters. To inform their work, character designers conduct study into the anatomy of characters as well as appropriate dress designs.
