Description I thought it would be nice to share one of the ways I sketch out character ideas.

I first sketch the simple head and body shapes, then I sketch lines for legs and arms to create a pose template. I then use the sketches to create a final character design

It's a fun way for me to just create random characters!

I hope you like it!

I should try this. One of my passions with animation is Character Design, but my mind likes to skip over the simple/basic shape step and just go straight into the clothing design and physical appearances, so I don't have a lot of development like this. And it drives my teachers nuts...
