In this Character Drawing Toolkit tutorial you’ll learn which shape brushes I used to create this cute little hamster.
I used the same shape for both the head and body to create a chubby little character. I used expression in this drawing to portray his excitement! I’ve included some expression ideas in The Super Duper Resource Guide which comes with the Toolkit.
Happy doodling!
Hi Lisa,
Love your work, as you know I have sent you my rabbit illustration. I do want to purchase your Character Drawing Kit, but wonder about how to draw the animals in various positions, angles, side views, partially to the side, etc. You have them in a lot of action and emotional states. Will this kit help me in this way? Love the bear with the tutu, pushing the grocery cart! Please help me decide to purchase this brush kit for Procreate.
Thanks, Christina
Hi Christina, Great questions! The kit is designed to help you with a starting point of basic shapes for character drawing. You can definitely draw characters at various angles and activities using the shapes but it does require the user to place limbs and rotate and angle the shapes to suit the characters action you want convey. So I would say the kit is more for those who have no idea on where to start and need help planning and plotting basic shapes for character drawing. It won’t necessarily guide you when it comes to different poses, but it definitely will improve your drawing if you’re new to illustrating and help spark character shape ideas. Hope that answers your question. If you have any other questions at all, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
