2. Add clothing, facial expressions and other details using the easy-to-follow tips
3. Use color and pen to create the finished character

Their focus is on creating a dynamic body pose and face for each character and illustration. First you are shown how to sketch a well-proportioned outline, then how to fill in supporting details-powerful dramatic expressions, clothing and actions. Bold examples portray an array of body types and faces, each capturing a different mood or action sequence.
