HOT TIP I FORGOT TO SAY: Once your model sheet(s) are done, print them off and pin them above your desk! It gets your eyes used to how you want them to look, and it makes your workspace look so professional and legit. 🌟 ○ Download Amino and search to join Anime Art Amino:aminoapps.onelink.me/4eRt/LavenderTowne ○ Follow me: Haley Mewsome 💞

I actually thought of this before scrolling to the comment section

[@haichie1341]

Another tip for consistency: Know their exact height Know their dominant hand and foot Know how they usually walk and carry themself

[@kiddo9355]

Haichie Like my character; He’s 5’7, Left handed and footed. He walks with a sort of a slouch and he has bad posture. Whenever I do a reference sheet, I make sure to include him slouching and standing straight. It’s better for more exact reference

[@kottonkandy0962]

**Cough cough** *Gorillaz* **Cough cough* No seriously, there’s literally no consistency between heights Take two characters 2D and Murdoc for example. Murdoc is around 5’7 and 2D is 6’3. However, when they’re next to each other they’re commonly around the same height, Murdoc sometimes even seeming larger than 2D. Their heights are so drastically different that I’m surprised that they can be drawn anywhere close to each other in the official band’s artwork.

[@creepywaffles4783]

Kiddo kinda like myself Except 5’2 and female

[@vivienne1349]

also compare heights to other characters with a gird of like one square per 2 inches so you know the exact comparison between heights

[@adi_3039]

Tori Doodles yeah that’s also a good idea, I was thinking of doing a oc lineup once I get all of my reference sheets done, tho I don’t think I should make a turn around other than front and back since I don’t have a comic or anything like that

Practice. Also when I make comics Their Sizes keep changing in each panel so um...I need to work on my consistency

[@Shayllox]

I have 3 mains that I draw all the time and they practically haven't changed for months now. The more you draw them the more you remember their design and so you find specific ways to draw each of them with a unique touch + it helps you draw them faster. It all comes down to practice

[@froggyclown]

When you make a new oc draw it a lot so you can get used to drawing them the make a model sheet

[@CPRCUS]

What I think anyone should do is make one of each of these: -Model Sheet -Expressions Chart -The oc's skeletal structure (if possible) -The oc's different outfits -The oc's color palette -A reference with bother flat colors and shaded

[@imeldamadarang3385]

basically alot of sheets.

[@alishaanimations3058]

Thank you

[@Harudodo]

​@@imeldamadarang3385 yup! Though it can feel tedious, from personal experience it's completely worth it. I'm currently drawing a one shot where I drew character sheets for half the characters, and just went off a design page for the others. Mainly out of experimentation, though some laziness was involved It's so much more fun to draw a character when you know the ins and outs then when you're awkwardly drawing from one reference angle

[@sosasees]

¿should the skeleton sheet be a realistic skeleton, or stick bones like in a 3D program?

[@sholace-nq8bk]

Don’t forget the reference sheet!

[@AutumnOwlex]

[@fakecubed]

This is a really valuable video. I'm a professional writer, but for years I've been wanting to make a comic and combine my writing with my drawing hobby. I had a premise and some rough character designs already figured out, even a few stories, but it seemed so daunting to actually go about developing it. This gives me some clear ways to get organized and ultimately prove to myself that I can do the art side of it. What's stopped me all this time was concerns about actually making my characters do what they need to do in my stories. I probably should've figured this out already, but it makes so much sense. I just need to make model sheets. Finally, a kick in the behind to actually do productive work and get started on this idea I've had.

[@mommy-mar]

Ooh! It’s been three years. Have you published your comic somewhere or have you changed your mind and directed your talents elsewhere? If you’ve already made the comic I’d love to check it out. :)

[@fakecubed]

@@mommy-mar Ended up learning 3D modeling instead, in Blender. Plus, a hundred other writing projects that have taken my attention. I am almost at the point now where I can make my character models in 3D with clean topology, render them with cartoon shading (actually have a lot of those shaders and techniques worked out), and make my comic that way instead of drawing them. It’ll look drawn, but it’ll be a very flexible way of doing things. I could also do animation relatively easily. Not all the pieces are in place, however. I still need to model and rig my characters, and rigging is still something I don’t have a lot of experience with so still some more things to learn. But ultimately I think it’s the workflow that will get me the results I want and in a pretty quick pace so I could keep a comic going regularly without it becoming a full time job. A lot of time investment up front but once I’ve got my digital assets it’ll be smooth sailing and I can just focus on writing it. I might still draw backgrounds by hand in 2D, just have the characters as posable 3D models to speed things up and maintain a consistent look. Three years ago, I did draw out my characters in a formal way, iterated on the designs a bit. Translating those to 3D, so they render looking like their 2D designs, that will be an adventure. A couple of them I may want to revisit. Check back on me in another three years, and maybe I’ll have started the comic by then. I wrote a bunch of scripts though, most of the world building is in notes, got some general outlines for a bunch of other chapters. Who knows, I’ve been developing the comic since probably 2008 or 2007. It may be more than three more years before I finally publish. But I’m not really working on it currently. It’s a back burner project for me, something I think about from time to time. It was good to be reminded of it by your comment, actually. Thank you. I may try and focus on learning some rigging skills because of that in the near future. Right now I have another big writing project that’s taking up most of my creative juices and requires a substantial amount of research. But I’m often playing around with Blender.

[@Mezzy..]

Should I make many different model sheets of the same character, so I can choose which one I like best? Sometimes you can draw a character sheet badly, and then you won't be committed drawing your character that way. Plus, your art skills evolve overtime.

[@JH-pe3ro]

Model sheets are fun! Something I've noticed more and more as I cross between mediums is that the final product in one medium becomes the reference in another. Models are a way of summarizing the things you need to reference the most for animation, but the model usually comes after doing concepts, and the concepts might come from a story idea, which in turn might have come from some general themes and research. Just like how it never totally matters that your lines are perfect, it never totally matters that any one part of the process has been nailed down, just that you can put it in some kind of healthy iterative cycle that develops the concepts farther. A reason to go for T-pose or its common relatives A-pose and star-pose, is if you want the model sheet to be transferred into a 3D package directly. 3D animation rigs prefer having the base be "in between" the extremes so that things don't stretch too much which is why these poses have become common. The modelling process is most straightforward when you can put your references into your 3D view and essentially trace the outlines, because then all your effort can go to technical details like the topology, so it often works out that the model sheets in 2D will start in these poses too.

Aaaaah this is the main thing I struggle when drawing comics 😭

[@icecreamhero2375]

Don't worry about it just draw when you draw the characters a bit differently from shot to shot that isn't so bad you are getting better at drawing your Characters they will always look slightly different over time. The real challenge is drawing other people's charcaters.

LavenderTowne, you're my only source of inspiration right now. I'm struggling with art block but your videos help me get inspired!

[@sunshinesolace3540]

This was super helpful! I'm always creating characters for fan fictions, fandom etc and I'm always drawing them so this really did help since I want to share my art as well.

[@selliesaurs]

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I've been considering starting to learn animation so this really helped me and I am going to be making model sheets for my characters too! >U

[@icecreamhero2375]

I love to do this all the time for my own charcaters for fun. I'm a geek. Funny thing I am working on one right now for Animation class.

[@blooshyandklamma9414]

I just want to say thank you so much because I love drawing and I watched a lot of your videos today and throughout the day I have gotten so much better! Thank you, seriously. 💛:)

[@BlissfulHues13]

This is exactly the video I needed! Thank you for making this video LavenderTowne! 💖

[@myachi_art]

I'm doing an art study on Kasey Golden. Not that anyone asked, just thought I'd say.

[@o4420]

In the beginning, she said she loved Ibuki! Honestly same girl same. 🎸🎸

[@ezbreezy4059]

THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! I never understand how people do it! You are the best youtuber ever and a huge inspiration for me! You showed me how you don't have to draw a massively complicated style to be successful and have a cute style. Thank you so much!!!

[@nevaehmontano3119]

See, but my cyclops OC Elaine is a fashion designer ;-; so I change her outfit like everytime I draw her, yet again I barely do comics so..

[@astrodonutqueen2033]

Can you please make a video on how to make hands

[@GingerKat23]

astrodonut queen 203 Lol she doesn’t draw hands. Just wiggly little arms with tiny little fingers at the end

[@crypticcorvid]

She doesn't really do realistic hands. Personally, I recommend looking at images of real hands and practicing them and then stylizing them later when you know how the anatomy works (so it doesn't look weird). This is just how I do it, so it might not work for everyone. There's also a lot of tutorials on hands, too!

[@Hexarth]

i really like the design of planchette's shoulders especially. the way that they're skulls, and that the frills resemble teeth is awesome, and i never noticed until seeing this model sheet. I guess that goes to show one of the important roles these things play

[@sebbee8240]

its nice seeing how much youve improved!!

[@Mad_Ancient_Computer_700AD]

Your Character reminds me of Marisa from Touhou :) Not that I'm accusing you of 'copying' or something stupid, but I just like the style of clothing.

[@ahero4357]

Click.Clack.Lavendertowne always got our back. Too bad I don`t have an oc.

[@les5503]

I really appreciate how specific and practical your advice is. It’s incredibly helpful. Also feels like I’m getting art-school wisdom passed along to me since I’m self-taught. Lol

[@kandy731]
