Re: Character design tips?

I'm also attempting to design my original stuff. This isn't really advice but you'll develop your own style naturally. I didn't believe it at first but then it happened to me even though I spent a lot of time copying other's drawings.

Also, there's nothing wrong with drawing inspiration from other artists. It helps to look at your favorite artists and incorporate your favorite aspects of their art into your own.

Don't know if you use tumblr but I love this one:

There's a different theme each month and anyone can submit drawings. It's awesome to see all the different styles and interpretations.


This website also has tons of styles to check out:

One last thing- The best art advice I ever received is to fill out one sketchbook each month. I haven't been able to do one every month but I have a nice pile of books. It's amazing to look back and see how much my art has grown. My favorite thing to do is redraw my favorite pictures every month or so. Even if it's only a little change, it's very gratifying.
