I’m making this for myself, but also for anyone that wants to try it!

1.) Draw 10 random shapes - then create 10 distinct characters from them.

2.) Design yourself as a character, doesn’t matter the genre. What features would you exaggerate? How do your features and expression(s) convey your personality?

3.) Draw a character that is counter-intuitive, the exact “opposite” of what you would naturally draw (for example, if you draw a lot of thin teenage boys, you could draw a plump old woman)

4.) Draw your 3 favorite characters from literature.

5.) Choose a food, and design a character based on it.

6.) Pick a famous villain and re-design them. 

7.) Pick 5 favorite songs, and design characters that exemplify them. 

8.) Design characters based on these words: power, starlight, danger, regal.

9.) Draw 10 completely different faces.

10.) Design 5 outfits with many layers. 

11.) Draw 10 kids of different ages and body types, etc.

12.) Draw 10 unique  hands (or sets of hands) that convey a different character (dainty, strong, spindly, etc).

13.) Choose some of your own characters, and draw them with very exaggerated features. 

14.) Design a modern version of a historical figure or character.

15.) Design a human version of a non-human (alien or animal etc) character.

16.) Choose 3 of your own characters, and draw them in a setting you associate with them. 

17.) Choose one of your characters, and draw a full expression sheet for them (including a lot of different gestures and moods.)

18.) Choose an already-existing character (could be one of your own), and create a foil character for them (contrasts with them as much as possible.)

19.) Choose 4 mythical creatures, and create designs of them that are unusual to their usual portrayal.

20.) Design the child of two characters of your choice.
