Creative Character Design 2e, 2nd Edition, by Bryan Tillman and published by CRC Press, connects hands-on drawing techniques with character design theory. The book teaches artists how to develop well-conceived original figures rather than focus solely on rendering mechanics.
Coverage emphasizes the role of story and established archetypes in shaping unique characters. Tillman examines core visual design elements, discussing how lines, shadows, shapes, and silhouettes work together to establish distinct identities and preserve originality.
Originating from a presentation at Comic-Con 2009 in San Diego, the guide includes Character Model Sheets and professional artwork examples to support practical character development.
