One of the most important parts of a good story is compelling characters. Some characters have super powers, some are silly, and others are villainous. Oftentimes artists emphasize a character’s personality through carefully designed posture, facial expression, or personal belongings. We’ll look at portraits and illustrations in the galleries for guidance before returning to the studio to create unique characters of our very own.
