    Hi, can I have some tips on making characters? I’m making one right now and I would appreciate help.

    OC so far.

    • If thats a bandana your going for then don’t make it so high, and use reference images. I know everyone’s says to use them, but it is crucial in the process. Also the neck is very long, you should learn anatomy and character build, even for simple stickfigures. Make your character stand out from the rest, don’t make it generic and give your own spin to it. Learn from other users, and see how they do things. But don’t copy them, I learned that myself. Find your own style that suits you.

        Ok. Thank you!

        What if I use multiple peoples figures, combine them, then add my own features to it?

          That’s not an original character though, you’re just modifying other people’s work, and it may end up looking like a mess with everything looking out of place and not fitting the same theme

          I wouldn’t consider doing it as most people would consider it stealing and you could get into trouble. It is much more rewarding if you do it yourself
