For some reason I imagine him in a story where he and another camp councilor have obvious chemistry, but they are both very shy around each other. So all the camp kids go to increasingly ridiculous efforts to get them together

That is an awesome idea! Super cute and fun.

As soon as you said you were losing the shy/introverted aspect in his design, I wondered if he used to be a real shrinking violet kid who came out of his shell at Camp Creative as an attendee, and came back as the counselor everyone loves.

[@ggyytgcvc]

Awe yes!!

[@Rainbow_Pirate]

I was thinking the same :D The second drawing (the face) looked like a key moment where he realized he could be extroverted and brave if he had to stand up for someone else, and the rest of the drawings looked like some time later, after he had slowly learned that he can be brave anytime he wants to, and has come to accept himself.

[@toastedmarshmallowkitty]

That does sound cute

"there is no wrong way to brainstorm" is probably my favorite sentence now

[@drawingwiffwaffles]

i had a teacher that would say that. so it comes full circle! i was always so afraid to say something stupid or come up with a stupid idea, but thats just how the brain registers new things. connecting different dots and just throwing as much at the paper as possible and you'll find a really good idea.

Androgynous/Non-binary characters are a great way to branch out in character design because they allow for a lot of freedom outside of the general gender binary.

[@father_mae_i]

👏🏻 very true!

[@rosiex2757]

Or just draw more masculine women and feminine men

honestly i love starting a character design with no gender, i just see what happens and i can choose to decide- or even not, later on.

[@eevee420]

Ooh maybe! Like he was shy because of being dysphoric maybe, then when he transitioned he came out of his shell a lot more and was able to be himself?
