The creation of characters’ distinct aestethics, personalities and overall visual appearances through shape language, colour theory and model sheets. What is the character like? How do you convey this visually? I’ll help you answer these questions and more.
Clothing based on traditional Norwegian folk dress for an illustrated version of The Giant without a Heart in his chest.
Character design for upcoming comic Forrester and Gall.
A selection of male sci-fi characters, from a post apocalyptic the Phantom to some more generic soldier boys.
Different ideas for a female space pilot. Yes, they have cigarettes in the future, obviously.
A mixed line up of guys and girls. Watch out for the TerrorBunny, they bite.
Hair styles come in infinite variety can be both a joy and a pain to draw and render.

Characters from an children’s book project. Fineliner and watercolours.
Coming up with original creature designs is challenging but rewarding. My favorite is the Squid Troll to the right.
Another line up of characters. These fantasy oriented, barbarian, Badass Froggy, some young wildlings, their Duck friend and an elf scout.
Using color to differentiate similar characters. What if the television series Bridgerton were peopled by frogs and toads?
As seen here, by colour coding the characters it becomes easy to pick each of them out in a larger scene.
