How to Create Cool Characters

Cameron's drawing publication How to Create Cool Characters (Jan 2008) is a fantastic guide for students and teachers on illustrating characters for stories.

The book covers many of the things Cameron discusses in his illustration workshops and was developed after requests from excited students wanting to imporve their illustration skills.

Designed for middle and upper primary ages, each section contains step by step examples, helpful hints and practical information on drawing and painting.

Sections include: drawing, using colours and texture, combining animals, people and faces, muscles and curves, exaggerating features, movement and perspective.

In this book you will learn how to create your own characters, such as unicorns, monsters, dragons, dinosaurs, mice, gnomes, fairies, warriors, mermaids, villains, witches, superheros, robots, vehicles and of course the Stroogle!

This book links directly to the Imaginative Ilustration workshop activity and is a wonderful book for students to explore following an author visit.
