This 100-page how-to book is designed to teach anyone the fundamentals of character design—whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills.
Character design isn’t about being “advanced.” It’s about mastering the basics at a deeper level. Over the years, I’ve learned that great design always comes back to simplicity—and that’s the foundation of this book.
You’ll not only learn how things work but also why they work. More importantly, you’ll gain the tools to deconstruct and rebuild characters in your own unique way.
Inside, you’ll learn:
- The core principles of shape, construction, and appeal
- How to add storytelling to your characters
- Practical exercises that make concepts stick
- Ways to create expressive, memorable designs that connect with people
This book is beginner-friendly yet valuable for aspiring professionals. It's an easy-to-use resource you can return to at any stage of your creative journey.
