Being an artist and a writer at the same time is very beneficial. Instead of using an app to create characters I just draw them🤷‍♀️

[anyapotgieter]

I like how you write characters! Honestly, characters are super important in any storyline so I am happy to see that you made an entire video dedicated to just that. Delle looks really awesome and I like the fantasy in it + the art. Very well executed. Wishing you luck on that project!

[LieutenantUk]

I don't write books / (fanfiction or anything in general) but I DO create characters for my own entertainment, and struggle getting inspo or idea's. So thanks for this!

[FreakyHimmel]

Not only australian, but also knows what theyre talking about. This is by far the best writing channel ive found so far.

[Hurtin_Albertan]

haha just found you, but this was very helpful!

I want to make a heart-wrenching book where the pages will be stained by the tears of the reader. As soon as someone gets attached to a good character they will get killed off in the most disgusting horrifying way possible.
Even though it will be a sad book it's also going to be very heartfelt and have its happy and funny moments, I love sob stories where the main characters and just kids who need help from the adults and they never get the help they need and slowly grow into a family that's been stitched together by the circumstances of what the adults and gods have put them into 😉

I been needing tips for writing characters! For one of my projects I been wanting to write different characters with different POVs! Your planning for your characters seem so organized! Weekly write with me sounds amazing!
Your glasses look great btw ✨✨

[IamSoup]

The way you write your characters is beautiful! I struggle with writing characters and creating profiles, so this helped with both making characters for a book and characters in general! Also, I need that keyboard 😅

[yessica]

Im so excited for the weekly writing sprints! Literally watching this video as I make profiles yay😁

[cyberdumb]

I subscribed without a glimpse of hesitation!! I’m a french guy and I’m planning on just going to the UK after I graduate, go to oxford, and write books in english ofc 😼💪
I’m honestly a good writer but I’ve NEVER wrote in an other language before! I’m bilingual but there is such a huuuge different between knowing a language and being able to make it lyric
anyways can’t wait to write my book and become a famous english writer 👨‍🔧👨‍🔧

[calistaj]

Thanks for showing this site! It's really accurate for wanting to know what your character looks like and it's fun making them come to life! Also a few things I discovered is, if you go to expressions, mouth closed makes the character lighter, mouth open makes the character darker and angry makes the character's face smaller but also serious at the same time.

[MrEdyGuitar]

I love what you said in the Outro. How characters tells you what is going on. And to me, that's the best part about writing. Finding out the story, spontaneously.

[megumi]

me, an artist AND a writer: *my knowledge is beyond your understanding*

[lindseymanning]

Thank you for teaching me a little about how to organize your character lists, and design the characters. I made my own list but it wasn't as organized, I didn't think to add 'strengths' and 'weaknesses' thank you for helping me create better! You have a lot of intelligence and talent. Keep doing you ^-^ God bless you <3

[notbanjelacic]

Thank you for making this video, I had an idea for a character for months now, but I didn't know how to write all the stuff down, this helped me soooo much! ❤️

[alicem]

This is so helpful! I'm really trying to develop my characters as their traits are so pivotal in what they do and how they think. Also followed your artbreeder tutorial and it's amazing, I love it so much! Thanks for taking the time to help beginner writers like me <33

[NatashaVolanti]

Another tip for writing characters is to think what they’re dreams are/were, what their motivation for doing what they are doing is

[smpurplmurderedme]

this was very helpful for my own!! reminder that instead of describing them, i should also draw them so i know exactly how they look like haha🤭 tysm

[erika.]

I love Delle! My character is a lot like her :) I also enjoy adding funny/ironic things into their profiles. My character, Nevaeh, is really good at swimming but is terrified of deep water

[ichinihq]

Wow you definitely gave ur channel and yourself a glow up

[cynthiaappleby]

omg this video was so helpful! I've already created a character! TY so much I love your vids!
