I can't draw. How can I design a character without drawing a reference sketch?

Asked by GorillaWolf04 (18points) September 29th, 2022 from iPhone

How do I make Concept Art or Templates for 13 Characters. 6 Heroes & 7 Villains in a visually appealing way so that the Person I’m pitching a show to would be able to fully understand the idea of the characters I’m pitching. To be more precise How do I make characters for My action-adventure, comedy show? That’s what it is. Should I ask somebody?, Should I go the digital art route?, and use resources on the web to help get a Digital Art created for myself or should I just use a tool to help out? Since I’m not good at drawing/sketching them. I really only want non-expensive ways.

If you have a recent nVidia graphics card, you can use the Stable Diffusion AI to do it for you:

It is a lot of trial and error though.

A friend of mine wrote a book but her sketches for illustrations in the book sucked big time. She found a local art student & gave them her VERY rough draft of the concept she held in her mind & paid them like $5 to turn it into something more pleasing to the eye. That student gave her some beautiful artwork & her book has now been published & now that she’s earning income off it, she’s putting aside a percentage of the profits to surprise the kid with some cash. I’ve heard that you can get the same thing off Fiverr, so you might want to look there. You might even be able to convince someone to accept a percentage of the profits from your show in place of cash now. Good luck in your endeavor!!!

A vivid description would be a good place to start. Think of all the stories told and written over so many centuries about beings of all kinds, including mythological ones. People can picture those characters without the help of illustrations if they are well described.
