Introduction:
Drawing your own character can be as easy as 1-2-3! All that’s needed to create your creative masterpiece is some paper, pen, and imagination! Whether you are a seasoned artist or just a beginner, follow these simple steps to bring the characters in your head to life on paper.
Part 1:
Start by sketching your characters using light pencil strokes. This will help you easily erase and redraw parts that need adjustment. With your pencil strokes, try to come up with the design of your character and the overall look by adding details like the shape of the eyes, nose and mouth, adding hairstyles, and shaping the body.
Part 2:
Now start emphasizing the shape and features of your character with bold and confident lines. Make sure to pay attention to subtle details like wrinkles, dimples, and other marks on the face. With a clearer view of your character take the time to make sure all the details are perfect.
Part 3:
Take the time to add details like skin tone and clothing. Use colors and lighting to bring your character alive. You can choose any color scheme that you like, the only limit is your imagination! Keep adjusting the details and colors until you are satisfied, then erase any unnecessary pencil lines.
Part 4:
Now all that is left to do is add a background. Choose a setting, like a forest or a beach, and draw the vegetation, buildings, and objects that you want. Make sure that your character fits into the scene and add shadows and other atmospheric elements to enhance the depth of the drawing.
That’s it, you have just created your very own character! All that remains is practice and soon you’ll be able to draw a new character in no time, with an unlimited rotation of features, hairstyles, clothing, backgrounds and anything else you can imagine!
