4- Sketching
Here’s some example sketches of my rat mage. One page is definitely not enough and don’t feel like you should draw a whole character. You can draw the head, weapon, clothing. There’s no rules. Just draw until your character starts to come alive.
If you really don’t have a lot of design skills yet, draw styles you can do, even if it’s not much more than stick people. Tracing isn’t cheating if you use it to build shapes on the page.
Sketching is part of the reason you have a Design Log. Draw new ideas. Practice frequently. Draw game characters like Mario to see how it feels. You’d be surprised how good you can get at drawing if you give it some time.
While the club is not a drawing class, we will definitely help you improve your skills with some activities by improving your general skill. Watch the videos below for some good pointers.
