Chapter 2 suggested some activities that could help you begin to formulate ideas when presented with the challenge of designing characters . This chapter described a number of rather specific ideas that can help you expand on a very basic idea you've already developed. From here on in, the book will now assume that you now have a pretty solid idea of where your character design is headed. The next chapters will help you create the finished products. First, we will start by creating the character's history. From there, we will explore the personality and physical look of the character.
