How to design characters for children's books - see inside my workbook

In this video I show how I have created two characters - hero and heroine - of my space-based, middle-grade adventure trilogy - basically aimed at 8-12 year-olds and up. Creating a character takes time. They are like new friends - you may think you know them, but it takes a while to really get to know them and understand their individuality and what makes them tick. If you are going to create a whole book, populated with images of the characters, drawn from different angles and with different emotions, you need to practice, until it becomes second nature how to draw them. It also helps to create some kind of a grid that you can refer to as the base plan for the character that you can return to when you get in a muddle or when you need to work out how to draw them in a new and tricky situation or angle. In this video I take you inside my workbook and show how I draw the characters now and the whole series of sketches and thought processes that led up the the present versions. 00:00:00 Start - Drawing Glenn 00:02:37 Drawing Chao-Xing 00:05:17 Look through all the sketches in the workbook 00:14:52 Draw Glenn 00:16:53 Draw Glenn Again Subscribe to this channel on YouTube for lots more drawing videos from award-winning illustrator, Shoo Rayner ➡️ http://bit.ly/Sub2Shoo Twitter   / shoorayner     / shoorayner   Website http://www.shoorayner.com music by    / cleffernotes   Everyone asks about the tools I use when I'm out using my sketchbook. here's a video to show you what and how I use them.    • How To Use A Sketchbook   Rotring Tikky Graphic Pen http://amzn.to/2hLNgQo in the UK http://amzn.to/2zRyH4y in the USA http://amzn.to/2E3qL08 in Canada The Pentel Aquash Brush http://amzn.to/2hL5MZe in the UK http://amzn.to/2zQFD1H in the USA http://amzn.to/2BpMRHg In Canada Huion A4 Tracing Light Pad http://amzn.to/2G8VglQ in the UK http://amzn.to/2E4CStW in the USA http://amzn.to/2DEDt7P in Canada The Seawhite of Brighton a5 travel journal http://amzn.to/2hLANfw in the UK http://amzn.to/2zU9dkU in the USA Seawhite 350gsm Watercolour paper https://amzn.to/2PEdMf7 in the UK (Try Canson in the US https://amzn.to/3qrZYBk ) Seawhite layout Pad https://amzn.to/2Oyyw7u in the UK (Try Strathmnore Layout Bond in the US https://amzn.to/2Oyyw7u ) The Cotman sketching watercolour set http://amzn.to/2hPgKgl in the UK http://amzn.to/2yWquIV in the USA http://amzn.to/2BpN0KO in Canada Neutral Tint Half Pan Watercolour Paint http://amzn.to/2ymFRJI in the UK http://amzn.to/2Cbk5f5 in the USA http://amzn.to/2E5E3t4 in Canada Carbon Black ink https://amzn.to/2ZyO1gT in the UK https://amzn.to/2GGWiYQ in the USA https://amzn.to/2GGWmYA in Canada Twitter   / shoorayner     / shoorayner   Website http://www.shooraynerdrawing.com music by    / cleffernotes   Shoo Rayner is an award-winning illustrator and author of over 200 books for children.
