Drawing characters

Posted bystephc2021Posted inUncategorized

I’ve been avoiding it for so long, but I’ve finally bitten the bullet and decided to start developing my character illustration skills.

I’ve tried for some time to get the hang of drawing people and characters but so far I’ve not been great. However….I’ve spent some time studying and practicing and I’m finally happy enough to show my progress.

This little girl is drawn in a similar style to Disney characters, which I found the easiest to understand and draw,

I found that once I had the basic shape of the character I was able to change her clothes and expressions to match the written words. So hopefully in the long run I will be able to incorporate a character like this in to my children’s book illustrations.
