    10 tips to develop a character

    Develop a character with these 10 tips Creating an interesting character goes far beyond designing a striking hairstyle or choosing a good color palette. Characters that stick in the memory tend to have something more difficult to define: a clear identity, a way of acting and a sense of inner life. Whether you work in illustration, comics, manga, animation, video games or visual storytelling, developing strong characters helps build more believable stories and more coherent universes. Even a single illustration can gain strength when the character seems to have a past, motivations and personality. This guide brings together ten practical tips to help you create more memorable, expressive and interesting characters, both visually and narratively.
