 So today I wanted to do something that you guys will probably guess what it's gonna be because you've read the title But I want to carry on doing my comics if you're new here I draw and write comics and I want to carry on doing the character design for my main character Who does not have a name yet? So if you have any suggestions down in the comments, you never know Maybe you will be the character name of this character. So this character I have done a few things already I've done some headshots and some sort of expressions to try and get to grips with like who the character is And I really like this one where she's kind of like more round. The skin color is too bright here I've done some other stuff like this was initial concepts For her. So if you guys are new here Don't know me. I write comics and I've written a few already So sorry there's a train, but we're very casual here on this channel also grab a coffee and settle down But I've written a few already Wishing on a star and the slow and all at once disappearance of a little newbie Which I wish was a shorter shorter title because every time I say it. I'm like, what is it again? I can't remember and Yeah, so I want to emulate these styles and I do really like these styles So I wanted, you know go for it Emily is burning is a little bit different because she has like Paper background as her like colors except for the the pink of her like cheeks But yeah, so I want to not do that again But I do like the style of having like just the white come through But yeah, I think I think it's done. I think I've done it there. Um, so I've got this script written out here, but I don't necessarily have Ideas about the character done in my mind. So I've got my handy-dandy pencil here and we're gonna start Sketching out some ideas about her because we need like maybe some like thought process about who she is as a person MC because I don't know her name yet Again, tell me down in the comments. So she likes thrifting. She lives alone She calls her mum who lives on the other side of the country. We know that in the script So she's probably close to mum I have a feeling that the dad is not in the picture them because we don't mention her in the script But I see her more as like a homebody who likes to decorate and take care of her space So I'm trying to think like what would she like as a as a person like what would you like to eat? What are her hobbies except for thrifting? What does she do in her spare time? What does she work as? But yeah, so kind of got like a little bit of more rounding out the character. So I want to look at What I've done for her face The face this is like a really nice So I've kind of like done this like round face, right? And then the cheek is like out and I think she is very soft I think she's like a nice person quite young as well. Maybe this is like Not the first time she's lived away from her mother But maybe like the first time she's kind of a cross country from her mother I really like this style of hair as well. I've just done like We've just done like three sort of like sharp Angles for her Back of her hair just so it could be like a little bit more consistent when I'm drawing her. Yeah, and then the mouth I'm not sure I've done like a line But I'm not sure if that's expressive enough if I look at the characters that I've done or My other comics I've done just a line But then also I've done like color around the lips to indicate where the lips are in some cases Like it depends how like zoomed in on their faces. They are this is kind of her at the moment I'm pretty sure that's not her because Yeah, this is definitely looking more Like the character I've visioned I was a little high now, but I think that kind of works I was would not be like so okay. This is looking messy, but I'm gonna go in with Also, if you're new here, this is gonna be a horror comic Lots of people tell me and I like Like how does that style correlate to horror and I really I kind of like The way that it doesn't really fit if that makes sense like it's too It's kind of cutesy my style and textured and they're out there so sometimes people don't think it works, but I really like the the juxtaposition to use a big word and like Using these cutesy styles with horror Like the way that I drew like her body shape here Where it's kind of just like the limbs are really thin. Maybe we can give her like chunky pants. I Really like that body shape, but it was a shame that I just drew it way way too small. So We've got the idea now of what we want a bum bag action. Is that a bum bag? Don't know Let's do slightly longer legs I feel like once I get some color down and then when I go over the lines a bit better with Pencil I'll use then I feel like it will be It's not looking awful, but it's just it feels the head and the body feel a little bit disconnected So I feel like like maybe we should make her a bit more cartoonish on the body so now I'm just gonna rub out the lines a little bit and Let's pick some colors. I mean, I kind of like it like when you can see the rough Pencil lines underneath and also we we need to remember that this is just Clearing the brain cells and like trying to get them to figure out something like who is this person and What would she look like? You know, so it's not gonna be perfect But with each drawing I feel like we get closer to figuring out puzzle pieces of who this character is and You know These are kind of the colors. I'm thinking um ignore the lights It's just because sometimes maybe they look darker when you put them down And then you can also lay a color so I'm thinking what I'm gonna do is test out the swatches of these up here and See what they look today I'm using a who-who markers and they sent me a massive like load of them if you wanted to see My opinion on them. I got another I've got another video on my channel. That's way too bright, but let's just see It's way too bright as well. These are really nice because I really like using brush pens and I feel like This this is a nice color, I think this might be the one What is this e 11 10? I'm just gonna note that down because I never noted down. I Just said e 11 10 110 I Never note down the colors and the next time I'm like, what is it? It's kind of nice Yeah, okay I'm feeling that I'm feeling that Kubo. What are you doing? What are you doing Kubo? No, I don't walk on my drawing So let's go let's start coloring and seeing what this looks like Okay, okay, okay seems like we're getting somewhere. I feel like this Designs are still too dark, but Okay, so I said this a million times, but maybe you're new here. I like to use dark colored pencils over the top for the line work and I'm using today a Faber-Castell Polychromos pencil, which I absolutely love to use And we're just gonna go in because I absolutely love like the texture of these So we're just gonna go in and try and emulate the lines That I did underneath already Okay, so that's kind of what she's looking like. I don't know if I've made her head too big Also, I want to give her like cheeks as I always do Hey, so I like the way that this character came out And so I'm gonna draw like I'm gonna get some what's it called reference Remember the name it I've got a nice reference here that I think she might sit in so I'm gonna try draw it But with this character if that makes sense I'm just gonna rough out like the shape of the pose and don't forget like if you're drawing from real life to just kind of remember that When you draw the negative space should be the same as the image So in this image you can kind of see like this kind of shape here So I know that that's how far away from her body. It should that arm should be It's a sharpness pencil Yeah, this is kind of probably like a more realistic pose then this character design I've done here, but I Feel like there's more to her here even though it's less cartoony. I feel like I Don't know kind of resonating with the character a little bit more Although I do feel that she's coming across younger than maybe she is I don't know. Maybe she's like 25. So I feel like she's coming across as a bit of a teenager. Maybe Which I don't really see for her. So like I said every like drawing that you do of your characters It's just like a step closer to Understanding what they don't look like and who they are actually what I'm gonna do is yeah But the colors here so I can remember This is like her cheeks, you know little stuff I mean obviously this stuff can all change still because we're still in like the Fun stage of just experimenting seeing what works what resonates and Yes, just seeing how we feel about this Direction I feel like yeah, I'm definitely drawing her a little bit too young But also I guess it would work. She's a different generation to me. So Okay, so I've got the face You know, I don't want to do it too big. Yeah, I'm really trying to exaggerate this jumper a little bit Yeah, like this stuff this one for sure feeling like it's more her Don't know. What do you guys think so far? So let's try and color-hitting. Okay, and I like this blue I feel like this blue is gonna work for her jumper Yeah, so the jacket is like crazy oversized, but I think it's really cool. I think it's working Cool, okay, we're getting there I feel like we're getting there with this character. I feel like I'm seeing her And we've gone from like this to this so I think it's working Yeah, definitely liking her What do you guys think so far like what do you think of the character? Do you think she's resonating with you or do you think it's not working? Let me know. I would love to know your thoughts and feelings about how this comic is going And like I said, if you have a name for her, let me know. Maybe you'll be the one to name his character Could work could work guys But yeah, I think I'm gonna call it for today But thank you so much for watching and I hope that you kind of like this Style of video of just explaining the character design and what I'm doing and I will probably keep Like going with this so let me know if you want to see more and I would love to show you more Yeah, thanks for watching and I hope to see you next time. Bye
