Best method to draw the same character over and over

[nekoendy]

i believe faces are the most important feature in any kind of art, no wonder they're the hardest part to get right

Well, you won't really get better if you don't practice. I draw every charcter from scratch every time, even if the only thing changing is expression or an arm or whatever. I think it's better that way.

[BiTronic]

Draw from scratch, I usually reference previous pages to build/change upon existing faces I've already drawn. I personally want a sense of natural progression like that.
Though ideally, one would have drawn characters a lot of times that some of the processes can be skipped over while maintaining a level of consistency.

Even more ideally, I'd make a proper model sheet, but that's even more work. I'm not illustrating full time, so fuck that >_>

Draw from scratch, I update my characters a lot and I put up the new designs on my wall so I would always have a reference on how to draw them.

if your having trouble with drawing the same character, learn how to draw their likeness, and their shape.
its important to get their shape and likeness down so itl be better to draw them again.

if your characters more chubby, or small you may use more soft, round shapes. start using shapes and the personality of the character to draw them.

make a reference image or reference images and draw from those

Reusing art doesn't do much to help you grow as an artist. It is generally better to draw the character fresh every single time. But it depends on the style of art/comic that you're doing.

[Luminosophy]

The only time I would re-use an artwork of a character is for a moment to moment transition or something of the like, where it's intentional that they have only moved very subtly. You will be able to draw your character consistently once you've gained a better grasp of the fundamentals. There's no short cut for practice.

you copy and paste your drawing then try to redo it without drawing it from scratch it's what I learn it when practicing sometimes you can recycle some of the old drawings to redo it into a new one

[BobbyjoeX]

this might get closed cause old but, i personally find it really off if you dont redo from scratch, i may do it once or twice but the majority of the time my characters are not in the same pose in the next panel so its pointless to me to rehash
