Collect as many examples as possible of different characters – newspapers and
magazines are a particular good source. Catalogue these characters as types – babies,
children, sportsmen, old women – create your own category headings.
Decide upon a character you would like to create. This might be one from a book or story, or based on an archetype such as a businessman or vicar’s wife.
Begin to brainstorm around your character – perhaps there are characters from the media or your own life you would like to focus on.

Draw your character over and over and then try another, different, character.
Make sure you come up with someone completely different, not just the same person in different clothes.
This was a challenge but again I really enjoyed it. I have a long way to go in character development both from an 'imagination/idea-generation perspective as well as from understanding the movement of both the human body or animals' bodies which can then be adapted to characters.
I also failed to take any photos of the characters produced thus will update this post when my tutor is finished with the work!
