Character design

"Character design is the combination of physical traits and narrative"
- When creating a character the narrative of the character is used/shown by the chosen physical appearance which feeds the audience a basic idea of what the characters responsibilities and personality is like.
"The face is the primary channel to express emotion of a person" (Colman) This is why cartoon characters heads/faces are a lot larger than the rest of the body. (A bigger canvas to show emotion) A lot of a cartoon characters can be defined by the posture and body language. "Hands are an effective way in expressing personality. How a character carries their wight also informs us about personality- particularly which body part they lead with"
Chest- confidence, strength, hero's












Pelvis- lazy, laid back













Head- emplies intelligence













Knees- Cowardice
