Character Design, Week Six

Study these drawing by Preston Blair. Read the explanation about how to construct the characters. This is the method you should always use when building your character designs in any position. Copy the drawings you see on this page on a page in your sketchbook, leaving all the interior construction lines. (The last stage with surface details in not essential. DO NOT erase the construction lines if you decide to add the finishing features to your drawings.)



Study these drawing by Preston Blair. Read the explanation about line of action. Line of action is something you should always establish when drawing your character designs in any position. Copy the drawings you see on this page on a page in your sketchbook, but begin each drawing using the construction method from the page above. (Again, the last stage with surface details in not essential. DO NOT erase the construction lines if you decide to add the finishing features to your drawings.)

NOTE: Only draw the good poses - NOT the poorly designed poses!



This week's sketchbook assignment:

Draw YOUR character from last week - plus another character of your own design - interacting somehow in a good action pose manner considering the line of action of both characters.
