My CHARACTER DESIGN Tips and Trick From Experience! 

Meet Lord Asher...

Not gonna lie, Ive been an artist for years now and I’ve gotten good but I always find myself trying my best to copy other artists… Which I can do however, I never feel satisfied doing that. One phrase that I can stress from SpiderVerse that didn’t make it to the final cut was when Peter B Parker says to Miles was “Don’t do it like me! Do it like *you* “ Even if your design is absolutely bonkers looking, it’s *yours* *Be Yourself*

Whyt, first off I’d like to say your work has inspired me to study art for 3 years and I’m finally in the development stage of my own manga, so thank you for what you do. Also my wand in apple black would be a microphone, I think I’d like to have some type of sound sorcery, it would be cool if you had a character like that. MUCH LOVE!!

That wand concept is one of the coolest power systems I’ve ever heard. My wand would be a bong lol, but it’s a survival bong my partner got it for me on our first anniversary. I would obviously control smoke, doing tricks and what not

I knew those tips, (BUT I FORGOT HALF OF THEM!) Always good to get a reminder, especially now that I'm about to redesign a bunch of characters because I decided to rework my manga project's entire worldbuilding for the 4th time because I'm 25 now, I'm actually taking it serious now not a side project just for fun and the world I built when I was 16 was trash and the 18 and 22 years old me just patched it up instead of fixing it

The hair is BANGER!

love how this tutorial isnt just "haha ur doing x and y wrong" but youre really bringing out all the possibilities a character design can be for

I’m about to 3D model Sano. You wouldn’t by any chance have an official character sheet of him would you?

Bro I've been watching you since August 2018 and my 5 year anniversary since finding your channel is coming up. It's incredible how you can teach and improve at the same time. I'm proud of you man keep it up and never stop teaching and learning

Dude you always come up with some cool characters can't wait to see this guy in the next issue or volume

I love this design man I can't wait to see apple black in animation I know it'd be my favorite series 🔥

Here is the abilities for my OC and his wind which is a part of jays hope you like 1. Color Jay Cyan - Form of the Swift Hawk: Damien's shoes turn an iridescent blue, granting him the ability to soar through the air with incredible speed and agility, akin to a hawk in flight. 2. Color Jay Amber - Form of the Fierce Cheetah: As Damien activates this spell, his shoes transform into a vibrant orange, imbuing him with the lightning-fast sprinting capabilities of a cheetah, allowing him to surpass any opponent in a race or swiftly evade danger. 3. Color Jay Emerald - Form of the Cunning Serpent: By invoking this spell, Damien's shoes take on a striking green hue, empowering him with enhanced stealth and flexibility, enabling him to slither and move through tight spaces unnoticed and strike from unexpected angles. 4. Color Jay Silver - Form of the Electric Eel: As Damien casts this spell, his shoes emanate a shimmering silver glow, granting him the ability to generate and direct powerful electric shocks, which can be utilized for both offensive and defensive purposes. 5. Color Jay Golden - Form of the Fierce Lion: Upon activating this spell, Damien's shoes adopt a majestic golden-yellow color, endowing him with heightened strength, courage, and abundant energy, making him an imposing force in combat. 6. Color Jay Amethyst - Form of the Wise Owl: By invoking this spell, Damien's shoes turn a deep purple, granting him incredible wisdom and heightened perception, allowing him to analyze situations and make calculated decisions with great precision. 7. Color Jay Obsidian - Form of the Agile Panther: As Damien invokes this spell, his shoes transform into a sleek black, granting him enhanced reflexes, acute senses, and maximum agility, enabling him to swiftly maneuver through any obstacle or combat situation. Weakness: Similar to before, the weakness of Damien's wand, "The Jays," lies in the limited duration of each form. Each transformation can only be sustained for a short period, draining impulse from Damien as it is used. Excessive or prolonged use of the forms can result in exhaustion and render him vulnerable until he has time to recharge. Additionally, if Damien loses his shoes or they are damaged, he loses access to his forms until they are repaired or replaced.

Hi whyt, ive been a fan of you since 2019 and i personally learned a lot from you especially making and creating my own character. So to keep it short , thank you for teaching and sharing your tips to me and to the rest of the fans.

You've made me realize all my character designs lack GREATLY in detail, for a manga style. If I was going for simplicity, I could publish right now. Thanks man.

Dude I’d love to see your series, it sounds awesome from what I’ve seen/heard from this video alone!

You’ve helped me for the longest man and you continue to help, you may not be too hyped up or popular but just know that there are people everywhere who appreciate and enjoy your work Continue to drop banger after banger man we need it! 👍 Side note I created and Apple black chracter and drew it based of your style and it came out really good, his wand is a bubble gum cartridge And I don’t know I was thinking about Hisoka a lot (don’t call the cops 😂) so I made his magic based of bubble gum it’s pretty cool in my opinion

I love your videos! I learn so much and your artstyle is so amazing! Your idea to make wands any object that undergoes a specific ritual or enchantment is genius!

This video was really helpful...I've been trying to design a character for over a year and kept getting frustrated (mostly wanting it to be perfect the first time) so I'll try these tips. Also, love the design of your character.

Been waiting for this one

The video I've been waiting on. Nice work as always

Very insightful tips and advice. Also, dope design. Love the colours and that confident but sly expression he's got. I gotta go through my character sheets again for my own story now, to see how they can be improved.

I love these types of vids from whyt manga

My wand in apple black would be a bead bracelet that could shoot it bead like a bullet and always return to me and I would have a the power to control the speed of object organic and inorganic

thanks, this was actually rlly helpful

you have no idea, how much this video helps. thank you like fr 🖤

This video in particular was extremly helpful and inspiring. Making me want to pop back on my tablet and draw more even tho I stopped for the day xD

gun wand is cool i had an rpg character on a rpg inspired on the game Noita. the story goes that he wanted to use a type of infinity spell with his actual wand on his gun to make it have infinite ammo, but he failed and accidentally mixed things up, resulting in a gun that shoots bullets with spells and a wand that fires bullets, just normal bullets.

This video is helping me a lot! I’m currently a high school student but I plan to make my own animated show someday. I already have so many characters and stories in my head I just want to explore and draw! I only truly have one character kind of sort of finished-ish based on parts of myself and my childhood OC. But everyone else is a blank slate and I don’t know how to make the characters.

Also love your videos and ceazar is my favorite in apple black he's just that guy man keep up your awesome work and apple black anime when? 💯💯

Needed this. I love your work! Thank you🖤

damn that character is dope also rly nice video on this topic appriciate it brah

I'm learning character design rn so this felt like perfect timing

Odunze... you know for a FACT that his shoes look like trunks' boots in og DBZ bro.

you drop this video right on time sensei

Based on my personality & talents; My wand would be either : (a.) a microphone . (b.) a stylus pen or (c.) A Culinary Tool like a Cleaver or spatula or maybe an apron with every kitchen tool in it.

I just saw this video and damn this is awesome!! These are super helpful and I'm gonna take it to heart. Also, I think my wand would be a keychain or a pair of drumsticks (if it is possible to have multiple parts of one wand in Apple Black! I need to start reading it)

Your videos are very helpful man !!

Hello. Helpful information as always! My wand would be a clip earring.

Your vids always come in clutch when I need them most. I love your mannequin style, its dope too

bro, great content, you just won another subscriber

The design is fire but, do you normally do in-depth Character Designs for every character or just the more prominent characters?

My wand is a spiked baseball bat! You are one of my biggest inspirations in my comic making journey and, i love your art!

awesome character, the belts especially

Nice video. 👍🏾 The character looks great!

He looks sooo cooolllllll !!

(me commenting before I watch video) This is really cool. I be bingeing your channel.

Amazing!!

Very well explain

I’d love a whip wand

Inspirational 🔥🔥🔥

Another banger from my favorite mangaka

thanks for your hard work pro I hope your manga be the best manga in the world!!

Amazing man 🙏🏾🔥

I like this character, reminds me a little of Coyote Stark in Bleach. I am diggin the design.

Whyt Manga, Could you make a video about hair and costume design pls.

Make his favourite weapon/wand be the "GUT BUSTER" a special weapon that shoots a special magic imbued weapon that gives it pain inducing and super heating properties (u prob won't even read this so it's whaeves)

this is such a good video🎉

Can you please make a video on how to draw different types of dreadlocks like maybe two strand twists

Excellent explanation as always man! can't wait to see this character in the next volume. my wand would probably be a black ink brush or a walkman cassette player

I feel like lord Asher would be Australian for some reason. For his Ability I think you should do something with sand or maybe gun powder since he uses guns! Also, Amazing work Whyt keep inspiring others while you can! 🎉

I really admire your work since 2020 ❤can you plz do a video about drawing weapons

Would u believe I wanted a vid like this, to get more ideas on drawing concepts sheet for a gunslinger

ah, they remind me of philly the kid from cannon busters! 🤲🏾🤲🏾💖💖💖

For my character I was think a cyborg with toxic green acid through out his body and him wearing a hoodie with one arm being replaced with a robot one

"Your wand cannot be a body part. Get your mind out of the gutter!" 🤣🤣🤣 Made me laugh way harder than I care to admit.

I have a personal problem with facial hair. I’ve tried many times before on choosing designs and trying to place them of the characters, and the design either doesn’t look good or I have a difficulty drawing it on a face. Idk how you do it, but if it’s possible I’d really like to know how. Anyways, your designs are super cool and I hope your work gets hella recognized in the near future :]

Whyt first off love art work really do but I'm still lost on drawing characters

Apple Black Anime gonna be 🔥 🔥 maybe my future number 1 Anime?

I love your videos

Mine would probably be something surrounding music or a pencil.

I know this might be random but do you have any advice on working with ohuhu markers? I find myself getting nervous before using them.

My wand would be a pincel

How did you Learn your style of art such as which books,videos,artist,ect did you use

i can see Jordan Calloway playing this character

This is really helpful for me since I’m making characters for my manga too ^-^

Simply Fantastic

Now i can make my manga monstro 😊👌

Character so often is animus, just the force of the character. It shows how much they live in your head, in the energy of the story. I have definitely had characters where it's like "Yeah, that's them" when you finally make the right drawing. I think my wand would maybe be a horse-shaped whistle? Or a cane with a horse head. Assuming my motif wasn't coyote. If it was coyote I'd totally love a coyote cane.

I think my wand would be a g shock type sports watch

🔥

My wand would be a paint brush.

MANE IVE MISSED A COUPLE VIDEOS AND JUST NOTICED YOU GOT A WACOM TABLET NOW???? IS IT A GOOD TABLET COMPARED TO THE OTHER ONES YOU'VE HAD SO FAR? PROS AND CONS?

❤

Add a poncho to the thumbnail character, and you’ve got the three-armed merc my friend and I designed in high school. Love it, makes me miss those days. EDIT: if I was a character in your manga, my wand would be a #2 pencil with just a nub of the eraser left. Half-length, Dixon Ticonderoga for extra style.

my wand would be a pillow or blanket, something that relates to sleep! I’ll be the Freddy Krueger of apple black lol

2:19 if i were in apple black my wand would be a Katana

Whyte manga can you hokd a contest to choose 5 og characters from your subcribers to add to your story

what would u say to artist that back away from some projects because how daunting the task looks sometimes (Im artists)

Wand is a black Staedtler lead holder I’ve been keeping in my pocket for 12 years. Looks like I’m just drawing but I’m casting spells the whole time…

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥dope character design

2:19 for context My wand would be glasses

I noticed in your brush list you have a bunch of "braids" to chose from! Are these custom that you made yourself or did you get a brushpack of them?

Ave been following for years now just have one question what graphic tab do you use

I feel Asher would have a deep kinda cowboy voice to him idk

how long have you been drawing to put all of this to canvas .... like ran me down form when you started drawing to getting your tablet and the softwares you used to now ... if you dont mind

Nice dude nice. I just made my video on character design ✌🏾✍🏾

My wand would either be a pencil or a toy dinosaur.

My wand would be an ink pen

so a wand cant be a living body part, what about not living? bones? taxidermized animals or body bits? or could a living animal be a body part and it just cant be a human? if so why? could you use another person as a wand or would the ritual end up killing anything living in it?also if necromancy exists how does that factor in?

i keep forgetting my characters help
