Create compelling, original characters using archetypes and design elements such as shadows and line with the tips and techniques found in this image-packed book.

The book also features Character Model Sheets that will guide you through the creation of new and unique characters. Finally, Bryan will break down established character archetypes to show you why and how the different aspects of good character design work. The content on the book is based on Bryan's popular 2009 Comic-Con course on "Character Design."
