  • Getting stumped on a character design? Looking for ways to enhance your art? I’m redrawing your characters in a method we can ALL learn from, through the 3 step process of Diagnosis, Drawover, and MUTATION- and maybe… getting stumped along the way myself.

    This is a fantastic series :) It's so cool to see the variety of characters on display and the different solutions for making them read more clearly. It's a little unfortunate that you were flooded with characters from people, especially because it makes me feel a little bad about wanting to send a character your way too, but I think it also speaks to the huge level of trust your community has in you to give good feedback.

    Hey, I'm sorry this might sound really weird so please don't take this the wrong way ... but is there some way to get feedback and critique that isn't public? I've checked out the patreon options and I was wondering because after a decade-long slump, I don't exactly have a perfect portfolio to show right off that bat but I do have a TON of development things (various drawings/notes etc, it's just that I'm only just getting back into drawing my original characters regularly again) I'd love to get an opinion on (without spoiling all my story online before it's finished - it's very precious to me as I actually made the main character 22 years ago!!) ... more like a paid tutor/mentor sort of deal?

    Seeing other peoples are in your style sits somewhere in the pleasing, but also uncanny valley. Also this video just doesn't seem long enough, getting more in depth analysis about what you did with each character seems more fitting. Instead of watching such a short speed draw, its hard to tell what do did without pausing the video.

    A bit of advice for the person who submitted the alien:
    The grey color of the hair made me think at first that your character was in her senior years, even if it has a green tinge to it. Maybe consider another color that isn't specifically grey (or white) since when somebody has that hair color you can tell that they're older. A different shade of green could be all you need
