OMG YAAAAS!! 💕 SAME HERE!! Nooo one can tell me they're not real people living in my house, eatting my food XD LOL

I kind of think of my characters as my fully grown, dysfunctional kids that I'm always trying to keep in line. Lol.

I once created a script for a class play and killed off the main character in the play cause my classmates wanted a tragedy. I was actually crying because I got attached to him. My son... 😭

Same

Omg same!!! Please be my friend!!

JT Goodman I've done that many times before! super helpful

I've done this with each of my oc's! It's so helpful!!

JT Goodman ayyyy phandom

Recycling Bin I agree because when i played the Sims i Got sooo many ideas for characters!😂

Sometimes I play the Sims just to create sims

@@braindeadotaku3520 lol

Me toooooooo

Your not alone this is useful information y’all!!!

omg same!! I bought a notebook for her tips!

Hi, I'm from 2020 haha, Me too. HAHAHA

***** Thank you so much! I'm really, realy glad you enjoyed my story! As for the girl's father, he just looks like Orochimaru at first sight, and that's a problem for me... :/ He's my original character, don't worry, but it's just that his looks are a bit like Orochimaru's...

Klea Kuqi That is so beautiful... It's nice to be that connected with your character, and to think of it as real friend and person ... and while reading this, I had feeling that the character is real too.

Klea Kuqi WOOOOOOOW COOL BRUV 👍

+Insert name +Dan Senpye Ahh, thank you guys!

Omg thanks for writing this comment! It inspired me as much as (or if possible, even more than) the actual video!!!😃

💕💕💕AAAAAW!!!! 💕💕💕 THAT'S SO SWEET!! And OMG my characters are my babies too!! XD +Sandra Del rivero

SAME! I always feel so bad when the conflict happens, even though I know it has to or there'd be no story. Ugh ! The struggle is real.

I have the same problem 😔

Same over here

My style is cute and soft, but my story is rough, tough, and sometimes really violent. The best part of this is the way the story can be developed to seem soft and harmless, but little by little the style starts being ironic with the story basis. And it works. Try making your character as close to your style as you want and then a style closer to fitting your story. Then try and make it combined and see if it makes it more fitting. Or use your style and make it really work with the story.

Alright... How about this one... (no not exactly "comparing scars" so bear with me)...lolz I have minor-motor control issues, and pretty severe nerve damage in my right hand. I am ambidextrous (through a lot of practice) but in writing and art, it's often a matter of both hands to the same level of garbage... So... drawing issues, right? I just start with basic sketches to "get the idea visualized" in some form. At first, it's always rough and vague... I work on color-scheme, and take notes around the "margins" or "peripherals" of these sketches... The notes are usually words that associate well with the character concept. They can be short descriptions and arrows for stuff like ideal accessories or needed details. They can also be single words to keep in mind while "fleshing out" the character concept. I try (not always successfully) to experiment in body type, while I form a better mental picture of how the character should come out, but limit (here's the tough one) the "preliminary" sketches to about a dozen or so... Okay, with nerve damage and bad minor-motors... I tend to toss a bunch of "just practice" sketching aside while I'm at it... But at the end of sketching, I try to keep just under a dozen of the earliest sketches. The rest "go away"... not necessarily garbage-away, just out of the current project's way... away. With some practice focused on the character specifically, I start the next stage(s) adding colors, details, deciding on the specific body type and basic stuff... Height/weight, hair and eye color(s)... skin tone... confirm what I really want in the character's basic image... Usually, I've already started with the gender or identity (etc) in mind, but if not, by this point I make a decision... And another round of sketch-work and coloring... Pretty much I repeat and "refine the style" artistically to best suit the character... repetitions become their own stages (over time and batches of sketchworks) Decide fashion sense (and sensibility or sensitivities) Think about favorite things and activities (insert character into scenes) Work on attitudes, gestures, and sense of humor, anger (or rage), Now, I also keep a folder for each character... Into it, I make sure to organize the preliminary sketching and notes (those first dozen or so I picked)... And I separate the repetition cycles of adding and fleshing... Finally, I like to have a "character sheet" which you might be better able to understand if you looked into a game like AD&D or Cyberpunk, ShadowRun, GURPS, etc... old fashioned RPG's with books and dice... This character sheet is where you describe your character in a clinical sense (not by telling the whole life story) but the numbers and some degree of precise measure of things like dexterity or charisma or strength... You don't have to be specific enough to put numbers down (unless you like a particular system for it)... You can do it like "strong enough to lift X-amount with a moderate strain" so you get a "picture" of the attribute... It helps... This character sheet should (eventually) contain all the stuff that might affect what you show in the art, but isn't "recorded" as part of it... (example?) A character with a sadistic sense of humor would be smirking as he/she watched someone (especially non-friend) suffering... Or may possibly outright guffaw where others might only smile and try not to overly humiliate some stranger. (sadism doesn't always mean enjoys physical pain, but ANY pain)... (while you can't exactly draw "sadist" into a character image, it WILL affect that character's outward demeanor more often than just in a fight or conflict)... So notes like that will be indespensible! They also avoid internal conflict in the story, and you do want to be true to the character(s)... No matter how long it's been since you last employed any particular one in a story line... The bottom line is that you will improve. Everyone does, BUT only with practice. As you draw or sketch and repeat and repeat, you can look back at the earlier work and figure out where your style might need a tweak here and there... It's not that your style doesn't justify the character so much as you haven't worked the character into your style or your style around to complement the character... AND that takes time... time and practice. Don't forget to breathe and relax from time to time... and then keep on keeping on. Artists do art, right? :o)

Ive got an Awesom Undertale OC but I am terrible at drawing

Bethany Dawn kind of same, sometimes it's writing and sometimes it's role playing

Turtle Dragon XD That's how I wrote my first book, actually! I did it with a friend, and we actually plan to publish it! Lol who'da thunk

Mmhmm I just love free writing just write down whats in your head not having to worry about if it make sense then pick peices together. I also like to plan the beginning then the end (The Setting, The battle, and etc) and fill in the gaps between.

I'm not sure, but it looks like you're first! Congrats dude! :D

I honestly think they're currently together now I mean after that kiss in ep 7, they became comfortable with each other but I would appreciate it more if the proposal will happen :) and plus, in the next episode, they will be in Barcelona, Spain and same sex marriage there is very legal

OMG THAT'S SO AWESOME, DEAR!!♡♡♡ +Melina Falette

OMG I'm so happy you enjoyed my video and found my experiences so useful and fun! ♡ it means a lot to me! I really want to help you guys on your journeys and it's also so fun (I feel) to see people write "OH WOW! I DO THAT TOO WHEN I MAKE CHARACTERS!" It makes young artists feel more confident in themselves ♡ +oborohzmn

What i did for my cast of characters was draw them and cut them out. Then play with my younger cousins and just role-played them. It was hilarious and we each day we kept coming back for more to continue their stories. Also puttjng them in a sims game was funny too.
