How does one design original, appealing characters? As a beg, I can't even draw a doodle that looks halfway decent, and I imagine I'll always be like this, no matter what I do.Sure, maybe I'll improve at the fundamentals eventually, but I still don't know how to draw something appealing. Maybe I just don't have the soul for it.
Exaggeration is your friend.

>>7749328Actual good advice, planning and researching references first is crucial.
Just steal small things from other y designs
>>7749311Study appeal as much as fundamentals. Look at your favourite artists, copy them. Try and figure out what makes their art so appealing. And for fuck's sake, forget about trying to force 'your style.' You're a beg, you don't get to have a style. It will arise naturally later.

one last thing id like to make clear is that for some reason i hate the few ideas i have. sorry for blogposting.
>>7749311if no soul :( you can always go with designs that are 100% always gonna work. like a little witch with a big hat
melon
I think you should leave
>>7750446Why do you want to draw if you don't have ideas you like and would like to realize? To me it's simple: there are characters and stories i like, but they are not perfect. My goal is to mix all the parts i like into something that perfectly matches my sense for appeal i.e taste
