I’ve been diving into character design lately, and it’s such a fascinating process! I recently used Adobe Fresco to sketch some ideas, and I’m really curious about how others approach the story behind their characters. What tools or techniques do you find help with visual storytelling?
I love using Procreate for character sketches! It really helps with intuitively bringing out emotions. How do you decide on your characters’ backstories?
A great way to flesh out character backstories is to think about their motivations in relatable situations… It helps to create a personal connection — like, what drives them to make decisions? And @david82, do you find character arcs influence your design choices?
When I sketch, I often start with simple shapes that represent the character’s core traits — like a tall, narrow shape for a serious character or rounder ones for more playful designs. It’s a great way to let their personality guide the look right from the beginning. How do you think your use of Adobe Fresco impacts your design choices?
