124 • CDQ ARTICLE ‘DESIGNING FOR CHILDREN’S BOOKS WITH JULIA CHRISTIANS’

An Art-Ickle in Issue 6 of the Character Design Quarterly Magazine, entitled ‘Designing for Children’s Books, with Artist Julia Christians‘ was the topic for this weeks lil episode.

Really enjoyed this one that focused a lot on having fun whilst designing your characters, because if you’re having fun, the character will appear to be having fun, which will result in the viewer having fun too :)

Some of the other topics include:

• Experimenting with your Designs,
• How Art is all about Playing and Having Fun,
• Curiosity,
• Using Accessories to create fun Silhouettes,
• Creating a Family of Characters,
• The benefits of Sketching,
• Asking your Character Questions,
• How your Character must be Functional as well as Engaging,
• Thumbnails,
• and I slurp on a Hot Cock-late :)

Hope you like this one.
