How to Draw Characters From Any Angle

In this video I show how to draw a character from different angles and still make them look consistent and recognisable. There is drawing and watercolour painting in this video and a lot of chat about creating character and, thanks to a question from @Katie Felgar some talk about which animal to choose fro a character. It's not simple. You can choose an animal and give it stereotype characteristics, but tit won't feel very real.It's the character that is requires for the story that counts.If it has to fly it's probably going to be a bird or a dragon. Which bird you choose might depend on the colour scheme or their natural habits that coincide with the story and maybe throw a light on human characteristics or failings.
