The search for a character’s image is an interesting and responsible occupation, especially for those who are just starting the path of an artist. This is an instruction for those who only have the image that he wants to draw in their heads. Your character is created in several stages. It is better if you write each of them on paper.
So how to draw a character in stages?
Stage 1. General Features
Here you need to determine the gender, age, date of birth and occupation of the hero.
First of all, you need to decide who we want to draw. “Your character” can be either a five-year-old girl or a seventy-year-old man. When deciding on gender, remember the concept of social education, as well as gender reaction to the hero. In addition, there are purely female character traits that are not characteristic of the male population.
Stage 2. Character appearance
At this stage, it is necessary to determine the character's appearance: the color of the eyes and hair, hairstyle, height, weight, physique, and outfit.
Eye and hair color is a very delicate matter. But most artists are advised to choose hair color depending on the type of activity and the intended nature, and make the eyes contrast or, conversely, similar in color to the hair.
If height and weight are within normal limits, then they do not play a special role.
Stage 3. Character Character
The character's character is best to start with temperament: what will be the character we want to draw? “Your character” can be a bright and energetic choleric, constantly melancholic in the clouds, calm phlegmatic or balanced sanguine. After this, it is necessary to work out the positive and negative traits of the character of the hero.
As a result, we get a holistic image that is easy to draw. Your character will be livelier and more original if you take care of every detail of his image.
