i remember there being something like this yeaaars ago on the WCF, and i wanted to do it again with my current characters and style. if you want to also do it, the gist is this:
Draw busts of your characters, paying special attention to the differences in their face shapes. After all, not everyone in the real world has the exact same face do they? My rule of thumb is that if you drew your characters bald and naked, you should still be able to tell who's who based on face and body types. So basically, when you're doing your challenge, don't rely on cool hair to make your characters look different. Vary stuff like eyes, chins, cheeks, ears, noses. Not just hair. Bonus points if you do full bodies with body variations too, i just didn't feel like doing that for 8 characters tonight.
Feel free to post your results on here if you do it! This doesn't just apply to people, it's easily adapted to animals too- they don't all have the same face either.
Anyways, here's mine:
1- Hypocrates: Really square/boxy face
2- Ash: Angular/sharp features, diamond shaped face
3- Isaac: Narrow, longer features. Heart shaped face.
4- Ingrym: Really, really round. Basically his face is just a circle.
5- Danny: Thin features with proportionately larger eyes (although that's difficult to tell in my style,) narrow oval face.
6- Sinclaire: Rounder cheeks that taper down into a narrower chin, heart shaped face.
7- Amelia: Also really round, but her cheeks are chubbier than Ingrym's.
8- Genevieve: Box shaped face, but with much softer angles than Hypocrates.
