It has been fun seeing the personalities you’ve given your animal characters from last week’s prompts. In case you missed it, I wrote an article all about turning animals into characters. Also, be sure to watch the animal character video tutorial we recorded live on Wednesday.
Check out the Animal Character video tutorial!
And in case you are just tuning in, Character Camp is a series of prompts, guides, and tutorials to help you design and draw your own original characters. This month we’ll be exploring a variety of character types: humans, animals and creatures, and even inanimate objects.
Here’s what you can expect for the rest of the month:
Week 1: Creating a human character, one piece at a time
Week 2: Creating characters from animals and creatures
Week 3: Creating characters from inanimate objects (current week)
Week 4: Aging a character, from infant to elderly
I’ll be going live again this week, teaching you about creating characters from inanimate objects! The best place to watch is on the Bardot Brush YouTube channel. Below is a direct link to this week’s stream!
This week we are creating characters from inanimate objects! Lifeless objects might not seem like they’d make great characters, but they actually give you TONS of room for imagination! I’ve written a tutorial all about how you can turn an object into a character. Be sure to read refer to it as you work on your characters this week. And don’t miss this week’s live tutorial where I’ll walk you thought drawing an inanimate object character: Wednesday at 10:30 am PDT.
