✏️ Character Sketch Activity

Activity: Draw Your Ideal Character

🎯 Goal

Design a creature or character that express personality or emotion.
You’ll build this in Blender today, so keep your ideas clear and not too detailed.

🔍 Step 1: Brainstorm (3–5 min)

Use a piece of paper to answer the following:

What is your character’s name?
What kind of being is it? (Animal, robot, alien, blob?)
What’s one emotion or personality trait it has?
Is it from a certain place? (Desert, dream world, underwater?)

🎨 Step 2: Sketch Your Character (15–20 min)

Sketch your character on a piece of paper. Focus on:

Basic body shape (round? tall? jagged?)
2–3 key features: big eyes? horns? one leg?
Clear silhouette — can you recognize it from the outline alone?

Character Design

❗ Try to avoid:

Too much detail like fingers, fur, or tiny features
Complex limbs or overlapping parts (they’re hard to model quickly!)

✏️ Step 3: Add Notes

Next to your drawing, add relevant notes answering these questions:

What kind of movement or pose do you imagine?
Does your character have a catchphrase or sound?
What inspired your idea?
Any other ideas? Texture? Light? Color?

📝 Reflection

What makes your creature unique?
