Tips for Designing Unique Characters
Scott Flanders is back to help you with your character concept designs! In this free lesson taken from his Monster Lab course, he teaches you his method for brainstorming ideas that you can apply when designing characters. The first part of the lesson covers note taking and writing out a character trait list. You’ll see how Scott pulls from iconic pop culture creatures like the Headless Horseman, Swamp Thing, and Little Shop of Horrors to inspire his own monster designs. In the second half you’ll see how he takes those traits and uses them as a jumping off point for his own thumbnail sketches.
