The Prize
"Cartooning: The Ultimate Character Design Book (Paperback)," by Christopher Hart, and published by Chris Hart Books, 2008.
Product Description
"Chris Hart's how-to-draw books have sold in the several millions of copies. Now, in his latest, he delivers detailed instructions, inspiring ideas, and invaluable tips for creating appealing and original manga-style characters. Character design is the key to success in comic books and animated films, and with this clear step-by-step guide, it's a skill that can be quickly learned. Starting with the basics—body types, facial features, costumes, and expressions—Chris shows how to draw a hyper kid, bratty teen, lovable pooch, cool rapper, and many other distinctive types. Then, he takes the reader on a guided tour in search of original characters in places that range from suburban malls to the glitter and glamour of Hollywood and Beverly Hills."

character design is very challenging because it’s so hard to make the characters seem alive, not only that but they also need to have a personallity, need to interact with their environment and there are so many techniques to choose from…

( )Brian November 14th
As a student in design any form of help is always very well appreciated. I have a class next quarter that is for storyboard design and as I am not a storyboard artist any form of help to create a style that will get a story across would be very helpful with this class. Not only in this class but even in future use in my design studies and career. Just being able to draw some lively characters to demonstrate points and whatnot to clients would be a huge help as well. So in short as a starving design student I would take any help I can get. Thank you.
