Description
A few days back asked me about designing characters....so I made this tip-torial. This is more or less my way to design gijinkas and OCs.Note that this is to help with designing a character's physical features...personality is something I don't think I can make a proper tutorial for.
I am not a professional so this is probably not the best way to go about making characters...but hopefully it helped someone!
Enjoy!

It's funny how I pretty much discovered this for myself without need of a tutorial, but I do struggle with clothes a lot. I only really do cartoony animal characters, though, but I'll probably have to change up their heads too thanks to this tutorial as well XD

I like how Jordan's eye is close to Mimi's eye (I think it's Mimi's eye)

I like the way you broke down the features that define a character and possible ways to do those features. Iv been thinking of doing character designing and I think this break down just made it a bit more easier for me to start.

This is very helpful and well done, so thank you! I hadn't ever thought about how body shapes affected a design before, so thank you for opening my eyes a little bit more!

This is really helpful~ I admit that I'm one of those people who tend to get too consistent when trying to make different characters, so I'll be sure to keep this for future reference~ XD
Thank you!!!

Very helpfull especially the last point (accessories and clothing) since I hate fashion and end up wearing whatever I find infront of me. and your idea of getting a character design out of a pokemon was brilliant. π: 0 β©: 0
This is actually really helpful. I have trouble drawing out older characters and giving them the distinct features I imagine them. Especially faces. Thank you.

Omg....I've always really admired how you design characters, particularly gijinkas! It was great to walk through your thought process and stuff you focus on to make your characters so distinct. *__*
