How to make original characters!

[@brianamiau1556]

When I was 13 I randomly decided that I wanted to draw a boy that I had a chrush on, now that drawing is an oc😅

[@twizzlindoodz]

lol I love that for you

[@kanalmimi]

Does your oc still look like him lol (As in did you change anything)

[@thepnkponcho]

omg i did that too! i drew my entire friend group when i was younger and i made them into ocs. the ocs have all developed into entirely different people

[@brianamiau1556]

@@kanalmimi Nope, I tougth It was cringe and i changed It

[@natureninjay8276]

This was actually so helpful to me, I'm always telling myself I shouldn't make any more OC's just because I have ones I like, but you're right!! I should just have fun, and if they need to be a void, then they ARE!! Thank you! ❤

[@twizzlindoodz]

I’m so glad you found this helpful!! Yes go have fun making more ocs!!

[@natureninjay8276]

@@twizzlindoodz already did 😂 thanks! ❤

[@waltuh979]

I'm currently trying to come up with 2 Characters for a fight animation that I Story-boarded. Hearing about your process and thoughts has been really helpful, thanks for this video!

[@-Strawberry_Short_Cake-]

Same 😭 I need help

[@Winchester3339]

How are you so underrated??? You're amazing and talented, your art style is awesome and inspiring! ❤

[@twizzlindoodz]

Ah dude tysm!!

[@quiilbe527]

Loved the video!!! Ur designs are all so good!! I loved getting to do the Pinterest board challenge with u, I treasure the OC from the board u made me 💕

[@twizzlindoodz]

Ty so much!! I loved doing the challenge with you too!! 💖💖

I am currently making a living ribbon that can change shapes as she sees. She can cut her ribbon appendages to make new limbs. She uses spiders from her own ribbons to collect materials for her, She can turn into a human form to walk around cities but to not cause suspicions says she has to be wrapped in bandages due to a burn that covers her body.

[@SagetheFREAKY]

Your art style is just so pleasing to the eye! I love how cute and unique it is :) also, great advice!

[@twizzlindoodz]

Ah thank you so much!! 💕

[@SovCat]

I have made ocs based on a song alone just because it sounded cool to me💀. But usually what happens is I make a story and then make the designs around it. I haven't even drawn most of my OCS because I'm so lazy with making them. And then other times I make OCs based on my dreams and it's really fun cause I have very weird dreams. When I make a character design first it usually just stays in a vacuum.

[@twizzlindoodz]

Ayy! Those are still fun ways to make ocs! I’m envious of how you make ocs based on your dreams!! I’ve never heard of someone doing that before

[@SovCat]

@@twizzlindoodz thanks! I thought a lot of people do it. But I guess not. Makes sense that people don't have interesting enough dreams to do that. I mean, I had a dream where Morgan Freeman beat up emo Ed Sheeran. One of the weirdest dreams I've ever had

[@webs4447]

Love the video! The vibes are immaculate

[@twizzlindoodz]

So glad you like!!

[@habromaniac59]

I have a whole story in my head but I haven't actually worked on the characters or the designs for it, this video helped a lot :D

[@Anonymous_Bird-fd8cu]

My 2 most liked ocs by my followers were created COMPLETELY ON ACCIDENT while practicing posing when I was first learning (Poptart the Sparkledog/wolf {not technically but based off one} and keys the wolf {who I can actually voice})

[@ihearttwicesm]

Do you have an tips on transitioning from traditional art into digital art?? Loved the video btw it helped alot with making a story!!

[@twizzlindoodz]

I think that finding a program that you enjoy using helps a lot- i use procreate on my ipad now which is only $10 but I used to use medibang paint on my computer which I think might still be free?? but genuinely just test out different free programs and see what you like before investing in a subscription/ paying for a program you don't know if you'll like. Apps like sketchbook pro are great starting points! Also be mindful of viruses and stuff if you're downloading programs online! apps seem a lot more secure and that's mainly what I used to use.

[@Kuntfetti]

@@twizzlindoodzMediBang on iPad is free (I don’t use it but I have it) I use ibisPaint I don’t really like it but I do use it

[@Duckmadeofrubber]

I make oc’s by drawing whatever I want to draw and then just develop lore for it afterwords

[@AvenatorDaniel-us4ei]

Omg I *LOVE* your art style!!!! They all look so cool!!!!!!

[@twizzlindoodz]

Ah tysm!! 💕

[@n9it]

The third way is literally what i've been doing this entire time lol, the lore stewing is also really accurate, like i'm doing anything that doesn't require much attention and my mind just not there lol

[@twizzlindoodz]

same its easily my favorite way to make ocs bc its kinda mindless

[@SomniferousStudios]

this channel is underrated, only 239 subs . srsly tho keep up the good work!🤩🤩

[@waffle8946]

This was a really helpful video now if you don’t mind me I’m going to go make a Pinterest board for my sister ✍✨😎

[@twizzlindoodz]

I’m so glad you found it helpful!! Have fun creating!! 💖

[@catdn7011]

Ooo it's nice seeing another cc who really likes ocs consider me invested

[@chillcloud107]

I love the shading on the gravestone angel! Good stuff I’m glad KZbin recommended brought me here 💪

[@twizzlindoodz]

[@hermosaheaven]

EARNED A NEW SUB!! I REALLY NEEDED THIS

[@certifiedmacaquekinnie]

Every time i doodle while i listen to music and somehow boom another oc

[@CreativaArtly]

Awesome video. Also designing characters from Pinterest is fun. I partook in it when it was going around KZbin as a challenge years back. It was great. 😊😊😊.

[@twizzlindoodz]

I'm so glad you liked the video! I feel like making characters out of pinterest boards was super popular in 2016 and I'm only now seeing more of them now with youtubers like pricklyalpaca and lilstarnerd. But it's fun!! idk why everyone stopped

[@KhaosKara]

You came to the rescue I’m making a new story 🙏🏽😭

[@twizzlindoodz]

Happy this helped! Good luck!!

[@juliagiller773]

This helped so much thank you

[@josie-mx3zw]

I LOVE JOAN JETT!!

[@Plexs__Studio]

What art program do you use? Btw I love your art style !

[@darkx6869]

Remember that ocs can be basic. They don’t have to be extraordinary. Make them a boring person you see on the street lol.

[@CreativaArtly]

Also I adore designing characters in general. There’s a reason I have 200-300+ of them after all. 😊😊😊.

there you go I am a new subscriber

[@stylopoppp]

this was really helpful 😁! are you in college? if you are , what to you major in?

[@twizzlindoodz]

I’m happy to hear that it helped! Ye I’m an animation major

[@millegraphy]

thank youu ~ !!

[@Crayoneater96]

i'd love to make a pinterest account eventually but omg i am awful at searching stuff so i highly doubt i'd even succeed lmaoooooo

[@Crayoneater96]

also the little animation in the end is SO CUTE!!

[@twizzlindoodz]

I totally get that! Pinterest tends to do a pretty good job at filtering things after a while tho!

[@ashhh_okumura]

I have so many ocs I wanna design but I can't draw so they stay in my brain for now😭(Getting into art for this reason)

[@twizzlindoodz]

ay thats so cool!! Hope you have fun getting into that!

[@CoreTestines]

I cant even do step one bro i aint got no friends
