The most important advice I have for young character designers is to study life, and caricature it. The greatest designs have kernels of truth. <BR/>I also focus on simple graphic shapes, like this kitten who is essentially a flour-sack with a cape. <BR/>My friend, Nate Wragg, whose blog you can find in my links section, is amazing at pushing characters into bizarre, funny shapes. The point is to illustrate their personality, and make them as unique as possible.<BR/>Great designers/draftsmen to look at (though you truly must develop your own style)<BR/>Chuck Jones<BR/>Ronald Searle<BR/>Edward Gorey<BR/>Gary Larson<BR/>Bill Watterson<BR/>Chris Sanders<BR/>Ronnie del Carmen<BR/>Iain McCaig<BR/>Frank Frazetta<BR/>Nicolas Marlet<BR/><BR/>So study life, push your shapes, oh yeah! And make sure to put some story into your drawings. Where have they come from? What are they doing? Who are they with? This can inform your character's body language and facial expression, and really enhance any design.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06634354258406911180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30178341.post-49084683725169534272008-05-21T06:32:00.000-07:002008-05-21T06:32:00.000-07:00Your character designs are excellent.
