Here is a small collection of some of my male characters. Been drawing women for a while so this is a nice change of pace.


Also, i've been paranoid over how i draw female bodies for a while and i don't know which one of these is better. I'm always worried over doing it too big or too small

Having trouble deciding which of the 3 to be the design for the main heroine

Any suggestions?

Key traits:

Passionate and empathetic with a strong sense of justice however is somewhat temperamental can be easily angered

Can be reckless/strong willed and is rather incompetent outside of her niche struggling with what she views as barbaric tasks

She is shown to dislike those who stand by and do nothing aka people who would rather be complicate in a corrupt system if it means they benefit

mechanical genius

Tech nerd treats machines like people(robot advocate) yet despite this is still somewhat of a girly girl

Daughter of infamous engineer/inventor

Characters referenced: tron Bonne, Bulma, ciel(Megaman zero),Amy rose,Kaoru from violator hakaider

While all three are pretty good designs, if you're going for a "gear head"-type character, I think you're better off using design B. Though, I'd give her pants as it isn't very wise to be wearing shorts while using welding equipment.

I would also add a few other things:
-Overalls/wifebeater/flanner shirt depending on how informal/tomboyish you want her to be.
-Glasses are nerdy and formal, good for looking and being smart. Aviator Goggles give an antique, impulsive or adventurous look.
-While long hair looks good, at work she might need something to keep it from getting dirty.

For her personality the hair on the second one matches well. There are other aspects to consider. Like you want her to give off a youthful vibe? Nerd that studies or hands on wrench jockey?

I always imagined her having short-medium hair but I'm not opposed to longer look

Also if we were to assume her race it would be some mix of black/Asian

I wanted the cloths to resemble street fashion from the early 2000s

She should give off a youthful girly pop cutesy vibe with a go getter attitude full of energy (gremlin) not really someone you could see doing anything hands on upon first glance

 

[Nameless One]

I use ibis paint on my phone and use my fingers to draw. It's very unfinished, I think I need a tablet and a digital pen.

This shit is so ass.

Most of my projects I give up on like this. Since I was a kid, I've drawn or sketched or doodled traditional art with pencil and paper. I did decent in art class but gave it up to focus on band class. I'll rarely try to draw something again on paper, but now I've come around to digital art which I initially hated.

In that case i can tell a few pointers. These are my opinions since remember that you have the last word on everything and i rather you follow your own style and ideas.

The hair says a lot about the character. Depending on the style you can give a different vibe to a character. Pigtails can give a cutesy or youthful look. Ruffled hair might give an impression of uncomformism or savageness. I feel like the hairs on type 2 and 3 are really good and they fit pretty well.

Like i said, aviator goggles give a good impression of someone that vibes with machinery. If you don't want to go for that you could go for something that indicates her academic competence in engineering (pad and pencils, e-pad, toolbelt, work gloves...). You can also add the headphones so she doesn't have to deal with the noise of machinery.

On the fashion you have better ideas than me since you know your stuff better. Plus, clothes need to say something about the character and in that regard you are probably right telling that she's an energetic person.

While character design is not an exact science, having in mind that your character has to give a certain "look" with their appearance is important. And also to not overcomplicate things. The easier they are to recognize, the better.

Meanwhile i only do traditional. There is something relaxing about drawing with pencil and paper. I've been told several times that i've learned quickly and that changing to digital would be a massive improvement. But i don't know.
