The first step in designing a 2D character is to choose a style. The style you choose will depend on the type of game you are designing for.

If you are designing for an arcade game or mobile game, then it is best to keep your character simple and focused on the gameplay itself.

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.

We will start by drawing a simple circle to represent the head. Then we will draw two lines to represent the eyes and a line for the mouth. Now we can add some hair and clothes, as well as shading, to complete our character.
