Stop Drawing the Same Face: Casting and Character Design

Let’s explore how to create memorable characters by designing faces that communicate personality, history, and narrative role at a glance. Instead of relying on the same polished superhero features, this demo focuses on treating character design like casting for a film: every feature should support who the character is and the story they tell. Industry veteran and teacher Hardy Fowler will demo concepts and techniques for varying facial structure, age, proportions, expression, and visual rhythm to build more distinctive and believable characters. Perfect for illustrators, concept artists, comics creators, and character designers looking to push beyond generic stock-model faces and create characters that feel alive.
