When I was an Online Instructor, I taught creative topics like animation, creating characters, and digital drawing. One thing I tell all of my students is that when designing a character, no matter what the character is for, it always needs to have a distinctive silhouette and an interesting personality seen in the character’s design.
One of my students, Henry J, was a pro at creating interesting characters that definitely had a lot of personality. Saucer Head was one of his favorite characters, since he will be the star of a video game Henry had been working on for quite a while. I created this piece to show Henry what a basic character sheet would look like.
