Sorry for bad translation In the previous tutorial I taught you to draw a face as promised this time I will discuss how to draw a whole character Before we start the tutorial, don't forget to click subscribe because there will be tutorials and other drawing tips. Drawing a body is as important as drawing a face if the face illustration is good but the body illustration is ugly will make the character strange But before drawing the body there is something that must be done to create a character The first process in character design is determining personality determining personality of your character Personality can be obtained from the background of the story. For example I want to make a story with a guitarist from Mexico who is a loner and likes to travel around the city, let's just call him Pedro He likes a girl named Maria One time when playing music there was a little boy named Antonio who saw him and was amazed at his performance I make the story simple because for example. So there are 3 characters in the story and now I'm going to break down the personality of each character Pedro is relaxed, does not like to be disturbed, shy, ignorant Secondly, Antonio is energetic, high curiosity, careless The third is Maria, who is kind and graceful. We already have all the personalities and now we go to the next step which is to make the basic form. Just like when making face illustration, starting from the basic shape This is a standard to see what our character looks like. The basic shapes can be made using geometric shapes. it looks like stickman as I said in the video how to draw face this basic shape can strengthen the character we make. Whether the body part is big, or the hands are long, you can imagine the shape by matching the personality. We try to make the character. In my mind the pedro is thin so I make the body, his legs long and thin with an oval head. For the antonio, I imagined that he was an agile fat kid so that the basic shape was more rounded Tips if you are confused with the basic form, try to look at the surrounding objects that can be used I made the basic shape of this character Maria inspired from the fan shape. The basic shape is ready, I'll make it more bigger The last one is detailing Draw face, hands, feet, body. Then draw the elements of the character, like a hat, clothes, and another accessories You can also applied how to dress in character illustration For example, if you want to make it look thin, draw black clothes, or look fat, draw horizontal stripes using vertical stripes to look taller. I want to show the pedro character is thin but still looks balanced, so the clothes and hat are made loose but the hands and feet are long. For Antonio because of his energetic personality and enthusiastic, I made his eyes bigger and big smile and then I made round nose the accessories are drawn smaller I draw ukulele to make it look more cute his pants are still made large I make Maria's hair wavy so it looks elegant. The body is a bit too long so I edited it to be shorter I added effects to the skirt there was a question "that I had to use a pen tablet?" you can use anything to draw character It can be paper pencils, pens or markers, even watercolors I make this tutorial using a tablet. I want to try adding one additional character as the antagonist role. Called him Raul Because of his antagonistic role, I made his character more immediate on his face. The mustache is also made long and sharp. If the details are done, you can tidy up the lines. And the character is finished. Colored according to what you want So this is the process of how to make a character. The first is determining personality the second is makes basic shapes and the third draws in detail.
