Week 50: Crazy for Characters
This week’s theme is “Crazy for Characters”! Choose your favorite characters to fit the prompts below. Here are some ideas for ways to approach the prompts:
Keep it simple
If it’s overwhelming to draw the whole character, think of ways you can simplify the prompt. You could letter the name of the character or it’s catchphrase. You could draw a defining physical feature of the character, draw a prop, or the character’s costume or accessory.
Go Crazy
Alternatively, you could spend multiple days working one prompt or a just a few of the prompts and have fun playing with a concept! You could imagine a character at a different age (check out my tutorial: How to Draw Characters at Different Ages). You could imagine them in a different time period, past or future. You could make your own interpretation of the character, draw it in your style. You could do a mashup and imagine a character in a different character’s universe.
These are just a few ideas; I cannot wait to see what you come up with! To help inspire you, I put together a Pinterest board of creative character fan art drawings. Check it out!
