For me, it was easy as I already had the basic idea given to me by my (super awesome ) prof! But where do you start yourself? I have done many other character design later on, and it always helps me to think of something that: A) Would look cool and be very fun to draw at the same time! B) Taking something from every day and adding a bit ( or a who...
Now, when you approximately decided on where you want to go with your character, figure out a way to bring them to life by creating a backstory for them! The backstory might not be 100% delivered to the viewer, but believe me when I say this – IT HELPS! Because it leads you to a more specific and believable character and looks, rather than just gen...
So now that we haveall the ideas in place and ready to go, we begin experimenting with sketches. Make them silly, quick and fun! You don’t have to show anyone and be embarrassed (like me right now) if you don’t want to! I know how scary it can be to put your worst stuff out here. Then more sketches-the better! Also, if you feel like after this tuto...

When you think your image is as good as it gets, please do this one thing for me. Try VERY HARD to make it EVEN BETTER! You won’t regret it! Add something, or take away things, or improve the idea or posture! Anything at all! Our brain works in a way where we tend to pick between the things we see and then the one that looks the best turns PERFECT ...
In some way, we all do! As you can notice on the image below I’ve added some notes- just random things and ideas that go through my head when I decide on what to add while I’m painting like colors, textures, blood stains, saliva etc.
Colouring is not easy, but a very effective tool! If using poorly it can damage your lineart in a terrible way, or add it some kind of meaning that you didn’t originally plan. If you are not sure on how to pick colors effectively, I recommend checking out Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter (James Gurney Art)for some quick and awesome ...
So, at this point you are done, and happy! Good job (pat on a shoulder!). But how do you know if it’s the best that you can do? You don’t!!!!

Here is a screenshot of me playing around in Lightroom on my Ipad Pro🙂 If you play around, but you stil...
