How to build characters imagery
Character narrative builds identity through action, task, environment and continuous detail. Clothing and expression are outcomes; credibility comes from what the person is doing, why they are there and how the body responds.Three controls
- Purposeful action
- Define the character’s goal, hand action and gaze target instead of an empty pose.
- Environmental response
- Let weather, light, ground and clothing respond consistently to the action.
- Identity evidence
- Use real tools, workflow and spatial detail to explain occupation or circumstance.
