This book is a comprehensive guide for artists looking to master character design, no matter their chosen style. It offers practical insights into the core principles used in animated projects, helping you understand how to accurately draw and construct shapes, as well as the key elements of design. The content covers not only human anatomy but also extends to animal forms, offering strategies to depict both with precision and with expression.

You'll learn how to draw essential features like eyes, lips, hands, and legs - both for humans and animals - while also delving into the way shapes convey musculature from various perspectives. The book emphasizes the importance of shape and size variation and how to achieve a strong, clear silhouette.

Above all, this book teaches you how to draw with intent and purpose. It focuses on making thoughtful decisions about each line to ensure clarity and informativity, while also guiding you in creating designs that are dynamic and full of life. With these skills, you'll be able to design characters with intention and draw them in a way that feels both effective and engaging.
