[Dianne] Weeks 7-8: Creating a Character Sketch

This week, we're writing character sketches for our novel. There's a pretty specific list of characteristics we had to identify. The idea is that we'll get to know our characters' physical attributes and the physical representations of their personalities.

I did a character sketch for Nico, one of the two main characters. You can see it here:

You can see that I really focused on showing his personality in his physical attributes. His casual attitude shows in the clothes he wears, something I expect to be contrasted with James' clothing choices. His earrings are a clue to impulsive nature, and his open pose hints at his honesty. Every choice I made for this sketch was meant to show something important about the character.

Later today, Anah will be along with her character sketch of James. I'm looking forward to seeing what she comes up with.
