You can also choose to ink your pics: That’s where you go over your sketch with the concentration I made you hate earlier.

As you draw and you see your vision coming to life, you’ll get more ideas on how to “improve” it. This is normal, but you have to set limits. Character design should fit with what the character does, even on a daily basis.

Instead of doing that “slow-shaky-unsteady-trying-to-be-precise-but-never-working outline drawing,” how about you just draw stick figures instead? No, really. Grab a bar napkin if necessary, preferably unused.

Is the small blob drawing close enough to what you had in mind? Time to take that and fill the page. But since I’m obligated to block you at every turn, don’t do it yet. First, decide how much it needs to be filled… the page, I mean.
