Character Design Essentials

This is a physical book

This 100-page how-to book is designed to teach anyone the fundamentals of character design—whether you’re just starting out or looking to refine your skills.

Character design isn’t about being “advanced.” It’s about mastering the basics at a deeper level. Over the years, I’ve learned that great design always comes back to simplicity—and that’s the foundation of this book.
