The eyes are pretty much our most important tool for seeing the

               world and what we see helps us to form impressions and process
             information. Humans base a lot on what they see so when we design
                      anything we need to consider visual design principles.



            There are a number of visual development techniques that need to be

            considered for character design. Some are genre-specific and some are
           just common sense but what these have in common is that they can be
             learned and mastered to create a character that looks appealing and

            unique.The chapters in this section will teach you the basics and then
             teach you how to use those basic principles to create characters that

             stand out in the best way possible. Anyone can draw a character but
               without the power of visual design you can't make a true impact.
