Characterhub’s gallery system allows you to create specific folders for whatever you need. for example, you can set up a folder for references. from there, you can upload your various sheets and keep them organized, especially when the need for folders for illustrations and fan art starts filling up. That technique has really helped me with poses and anatomy, so if you're looking for a more realistic go for that. if you want a more cartoony and stylistic approach, watch more cartoons, and draw characters from them. there's lots of potential for unique styles when you're not concerned about realism, it's fun. 2.
Visual library. welcome to our visual library! all the material here is organized into specific boards, each containing reference sheets, tutorials, video tutorials, sketches, production art, illustrations, and various other resources to inspire you and help you connect ideas and convey emotions for your own projects. Don't do any shading on the ref, it makes it harder if someone wants to draw the character and they can't tell if a color is part of the design or just a shadow. there is usually a little spot at the edge of the ref where you put a little circle of all the colors you used, sometimes labeled to what part they go to for easy color selection. Show your character’s habits, tendencies, mood shifts, subjective preferences, tastes, distastes, actions, reactions, and all around sense of self. the minimum for describing a decently thought out personality would be 200 words. anything shorter than that is in danger of sounding like a mish mosh of standard traits. 4) your art comparison approach is counterproductive. in most cases, comparisons don’t serve us in any way. in fact, many people say it makes them feel like they are bad at drawing, unmotivated, and simply worse about their art. still, we continue to do it and beat ourselves up.

Having a skeletal idea of the major relationships in your character's life can help you draft a solid character sheet. 3. fill out the basics. make the first part of your sheet that asks for basic information. things like name, age, and occupation are a great place to start when writing your own reference sheet. Try drawing a horse using the information from the reference sheet, but without actually opening it. it may be very hard, but you'll see you already remember some of it. when you're done, get the reference sheet and fix the mistakes, paying special attention to them and noting in your mind why you made them.
