Hi!

Sorry if this is a silly question or if you already answered it you can ignore it if you want but I was wondering if you have some tips, advice or recommendations on character design and how you get the inspo and ideas because the way you design oc/characters is wonderfull how simple yet detailed they are and how the designs are so creative and interesting im sorry for rambling about you're art if it made you uncomfortable its just very inspiring : ]

Oh, this is going to be a massive post.

First, I compare ideas in my head or on paper. You don't need to make them super detailed. Mostly for first tries...

Try to do something like, a silhouette? Try to figure out what you want.

For me I do: "what kind of theme I want for character? cold or warm? animal or human?"

Then, when you asked yourself what you want, you are going to do palette, right? There magic starts for me, mostly, where after figure out the palette I finding a theme for character. Spring in winter or cold + warm.

And as a final result, I have the spirit of winter?

Im not such a good teacher hshshshs, but in general, till to draw I asking myself how would feels my characters, how they would act and how this all would fit in their designs hshshsh
