Character Design Secrets Everyone Should Know

Evgeniy Evstratiy teaches how to create compelling character designs, starting with a clear idea and then gathering references. The next step requires using techniques like visual mixing, "what if" scenarios, and genre fusion to generate ideas. Focusing on silhouette, proportions, and scale to define your character's shape. Once that happens prioritize facial features, pose, outfit, and equipment to convey personality and backstory. Use iconography and body exposure to enhance character identity. Remember, design principles apply universally, whether for grounded or entertainment-focused projects.
