It’s a very handy beginner’s guide teaching the art & craft of building convincing characters from your imagination. The first book you might add to your learning library is Digital Painting in Photoshop: Characters. These books will help you break out of your shell and get you comfortable trying numerous character designs. It takes a lot of practice but if you put in the hours it is possible to break into the world of character art.īut where should you get started? I would first recommend practicing the fundamentals but once you have those down you should move onto practicing character designs. Great character art should consider anatomy but also delve deeper into the psyche of a character. It takes a lot of work to design relatable characters that fit into an imaginary world, and just as much work to build the artistic skill necessary to craft the designs. The field of character art is equal parts creative and competitive.
