What are some things about character design that you wish tutorials would cover, but either they skim over it or they just don't cover it at all? I'm doing a character design workshop in a few months. Obviously I'm going to cover the basics and my own personal tips and tricks, but I'm worried I might not cover somethings my audience might want to know because it's become second nature to me.

>>
>>2436525
>neoteny
Its not just about 'cute' its about being able to communicate all stereotypes, cute, sexy, fearsome, goofy, etc... And all of that can be done by the overall use of right visual cues.

Its something thats rather well stablished in our brains to recognise those traits right away, yet I dont know of any book that would list them and go more in depth.
>>
>>2436534

I assumed the dude was asking within the context of anime, sorry. You're right though.
>>
>>2436534
That's a shame. Books about the technical aspect of art all center around ways to interpret reality and recreate it from that, and it seems kinda odd that such an approach hasn't been outlined or detailed for design/visual communication and picking up on visual cues beyond horns and halos. Maybe it really is that simple, and all it takes is work after you have the theory.

I'm kind of excited. The animation courses I'm taking in fall, several students have graduated and are now working under Disney. It's not even a special class, just some community college, but everyone says their animation department is legit.

Why didn't you go after your dreams, anon? It isn't too late. You should have people jealous of you!

No offense meant to anon but I want to use this as an opportunity to ask your opinions on something.

A criticism that I get about my character design on some forums is that he is too bland in appearance, when I want him to look like a regular person rather than a characature or something. Like, I had a prostitute character but in her day clothes she dressed in cute, but slightly skimpy outfits. I based her clothing (both on and off the job) on real prostitutes from a few different documentaries but I was criticized because she wasn't readily recognizable as one. I later wrote in addictions for her but I still felt like that was being forced on someone who was outwardly (Not inwardly) happy, like a lot of women who sell their bodies because if you arent you're probably going to spiral down.

So what about simple character designs like this or what i've described is bad design? Or is it certain types of media that sometimes require such specifications of a character being readily recognizable, even if the story is being portrayed as more realistic?

I'm bothered by it because I got a similar criticism about a new character who again was meant to be based more on a real guy, so his clothing was kind of average because, no offense, but most guys kinda don't dress very different from one another, even within different subcultures you mostly find a t-shirt and jean combo with some kind of cool looking shoe.

Oh shit, never saw your reply, anon.
Just the community college in Austin. Apparently they actually have legit animation courses, which would make since cause there is an animation studio in the city with some really impressive students. Graduating from the art course can land you a job at the studio.

If you happen to be around the area, hope you can look into it. I know another anon here spoke about it as well not long ago. Small world, I guess.
>>
Most of what is posted here are style sheets, redesigns, a few prelim drawings. None of which are "character design" per se. Character design is experimentation until you form a final version that fits whatever your goal is. This "character design inspiration" thread can pretty much be filled with anything because being a character designer means combining elements from everything you've experienced in life. I see a lot of people say they're designing a character but what they're really doing is getting married to an initial idea and never taking it in different directions. I get what OP and others are looking for I just want to tell you to look beyond just style sheets and other people's art for inspiration.

It's cute but it's not that great. I have a lot of problems with it overall. As a piece of entertainment for kids, it works fine as a basic understanding of emotions, but as a movie i think it's kinda shitty. They could've gotten the point across better as a short film instead of a full length movie, I think stretching it out too long was the biggest problem.
>>
>>2444220
Fucking this exactly. IMO unless you are a professional level artist who gets paid to draw it, or you're a 15 year old girl, you should stop being a weeb. Liking a few good titles is fine but preferring anime to everything is shit. Like, you're the kind of person who'd order a McDouble over a Steak (if it were free).

It's /ic/ which isn't generally anime-only, hence the stylization thread.

depends of the needs. if you're doing design exercises and you draw a prostitute who look like an happy, normal person, it's a failure in design. you have effectively draw a normal person with an explanation of "totally a prostitute guys!" on the side, and you missed the point of the exercise.

if it's for a larger work, like a comics or somethings, that a totally legitimate approach. you will have time to develop the character concept in the work.

but as char design exercise, your goal is too make your character look like as you stated. that the whole point.
>>
>>2449534
?

Are you saying a prostitute isn't a normal person and can not be happy?
>>
>>2448514
Yeah, I mean he is a furry, but also he knows dude. He knows! Even if he is a furry you know. So furries arent all bad I quess, thats why I made the comment, because I either am a furry myself and see people giving them shit, or I am a person that was disgusted by furries to a degree, but then thought that theres more to them and looked past a stereotype.

If I draw up a normal woman, do you automatically assume she's a prostitute?

>>
>>2449822
No, and no.

Are you going to explain yourself or not?
>>
>>2449862
the point of a char design exercise is to design a character that follow and reflect some specification. if your goal is "a prostitute" and you draw someone that look generic enough that she could also be a vet, a librarian or an accountant, then you failed.

The point of char design is to communicate an idea. if people have to guess, then you failed.

Once again, if the design is for a larger work that can contextualize it, then it's ok. but if it's stand alone, it must communicate clearly.

A good designer never thinks about originality but about the purpose and context of the design. Originality is what noobs and amateurs obsess over. At most, it's a byproduct of a good design, never the focus.
>>
>>2455424
hipsters like you really need to learn the difference between illustration and design. Popular, repeating design languages were not created just to spite you, they developed and evolved over time because THEY WORK for their respective industries / products.

CONTEXT is everything when it comes to design, it is impossible to judge a design without understanding its context. Some elitist morons seem to be completely unable to understand such a simple concept, yet they act as if they are above it all and everyone else is just a dumb, dirty pleb. This incredible lack of self-awareness would be hilarious if it wasn't so lost on people like you.

I understand that animation is built on simple forms for ease of animating and I don't despise people being inspired. But a lot of designs I'm seeing here are either too complicated for animation, or are literally just misinterpretations of other styles.
You'll run into sloppy renditions obviously inspired by Disney Afternoon or something horrendous, which in turn is a sloppy rendition of older cartoons.
A brilliant design emphasises a character and their personality. There's no use in focussing on a "character design" if there's no personality or context in the first place.

A design like Daffy Duck is rather generic but through the personality he was given, the believability of his expressions, and expert draughtsmanship of the animators and directors that made him, the idea of a unique design seems pointless.

I wasn't arguing for originality for originality's sake, but a character design that's nothing but a animedonbluth overly detailed mess with no strong elements of design won't make a good character without a good personality to begin with.

I don't see why. I see where they were trying to go with it, but the cheap Flash look ruins it.

ACC has a lot of courses like that, for anyone else in Austin. They like to snipe professors from UT

Why are you posting this. The show is funny, but in terms of animation, art direction and character design, it's almost as bad as Family Guy

It won't be long until the government is dictating what can be drawn.

All women must be at least 140 pounds.
Do not shave the pubic area.
Do not draw characters under 18 in any way that could appeal to a man.

Nah I fucking agree. If you're going to showcase armpit hair and shinhair, you should showcase ALL bodyhairlike thigh hair, inner thigh hair that's not neccessarily part of the bikini line, crazy bikini areas, well trimmed but still hairy bikini lines, hairy bellies, HAIRY TITS.

Nothing to do with being "triggered" like the other sarcastic anon was about, but legitimately if you are going to make a piece showcasing bodytypes as well as support women who don't want to shave, then you should go the extra mile and show that some owmen have belly hair, or hair between their tits, or chin hairs, or any other myriad of spots on the body that we grow hair but aren't "supposed to."

It's fucking stupid to only make the shins hairy and have like one girl have some armpit hair.

Ok yet another opinion coming through, sorry!
I like it. Its like the transition for people who are bothered by hair for stupid reasons. Its a sign of change...?

I'm also saying this as someone who only has visible leg hair and happy trail (+ pubes and armpits but who doesn't, right?)

This thread is really nice btw, thanks contributing anons.
