How to Draw Consistent Characters! - Make stylized characters look the same from drawing to drawing

How to fix the top 5 head construction drawing mistakes: https://www.thedrawingcodex.com/fixyo...

In this video I discuss how to repeatedly draw characters so they look and feel the same from image to image. This is a challenge that often comes up if you are creating a comic or other large project.

I go over how to think about adapting typical human drawing mannequins you might have seen for human anatomy - to stylized characters like my version of Pinocchio from my 2014 French BD adaptation of Carlo Collodi's classic tale... The Adventures of Pinocchio. Written and Adapted by the talented David Chauvel.

This is both an important skill to master from the structural drawing standpoint, and also from the acting and emotional standpoint. Often developing the drawing side of your craft will help to free up the acting and emotion side of your characters.

I also discuss the main reasons you might want to think about drawing with proportion in mind and demonstrate how these principals can help us to draw scenes with multiple characters in an environment.

Happy Drawing!
