In this course you will learn what makes or breaks a good illustrated character, and how to go about crafting the appearance and personality of such a character in practice. We will break down the art and science of character design into the basic principles such as function, form and personality, and understand how they come together in the creation of a successful character. You will learn how the use of simple shapes and lines can illustrate who your character is, how to choose the right attributes for your character in relation to its purpose, and how to imbue it with something that all great characters have: a life of its own.
