Drawing characters
This Art and design video shows children how to turn sketches of their friends into imaginative characters for stories. They explore how illustrators exaggerate and simplify features—like eyes, noses, and expressions—to make characters more fun and memorable. Pupils trace over their drawings in pen, adding details, props, and costumes to bring their character to life.
