191 • THE PERSONALITY TEST WITH ILSE HARTING : A CDQ ART-ICKLE

In this one I look at an article entitled 'The Personality Test with Ilse Harting', from issue 18 of the Character Design Quarterly magazine, by 3dtotal publishing. Some of the topics covered on this one include: The Importance of Lines and Shapes, Planning Your Colours, Limiting Being Overwhelmed, Seeing Your Characters as Actors, Asking Questions, The Circular Relationship Between Writing and Drawing, Using Online Clothes Shops for Reference, How Static Poses can still have Energy and Personality, The Power of Props, and How It Always Comes Back to Drawing. Thumbnail for this episode shows the first gamer girl character, by Ilse Harting. I love Ilse's characters, they're so full of fun ... hope you had fun with this one too :)
