This Art and design video explains how to show children how illustrators create memorable characters by exaggerating and simplifying features. Pupils sketch a partner posing as a character from a familiar story, then develop their drawings into expressive comic-style illustrations. They explore facial expressions, body shapes and editing techniques to bring their characters to life.
