Creative Character Design for Games and Animation

“This is the kind of book I wish I’d had when I first dipped my feet in the art waters, filled to the brim with time-honed perspective and know-how for a young artist to aspire to.”

Even Mehl Amundsen, professional artist

“Jenny Harder is part of a new generation of artists bringing a fresh and in depth look at character design. If you are a beginner artist or a veteran in the business, this book offers great lessons in the fundamentals of good design.”

Christian Alzmann, Concept Design Supervisor at Lucasfilm

“Every artist entering a professional career path has a lot to learn, and obviously, it takes years to connect all the dots between craft, human nature and visual perception. Jenny Harder creates a phenomenal compendium for any artist or supervisor wanting to become a more aware, efficient, and happy creator.”
