All the characters and all the archetypes live within our soul. Freud said that we are all the characters that appear in our dreams. It is necessary to understand the characters psychologically to be able to represent them and get into their skin. This needs to be reinforced in the poses. With her large eyes, wide sleeves, and slim silhouette, she reminds the viewer of a praying mantis. Her double pointed hat gives her a “double” look sinister and satanic, like the forked tongue of a snake.

She dresses like medieval nun, an abbess. You will have to design those two physical aspects and all her psychological attributes: irritable, cruel, immature …, but disciplined and contained in appearance. Her beautiful and youthful appearance hides a horrible old woman, blind and bald. She is your classic fairy tale witch – she is evil personified, possessive, selfish, manipulative, scheming, sensual and seductive if it fits her purpose. She is neither good nor nice, and definitely not naïve in any way. This witch does not fit in the contemporary version of the archetype. The character I’ve chosen as an example is a witch. But they do tend to use a series of model sheets, listed in the index below, which are used especially in animation production. The rules of professional character design are not very strict, the aim is just to explain the models in the best possible way. Knowing the tools of this profession can be useful to help you advance professionally in that direction, or simply to help you better define your characters, and develop them until you get a prototype that works best for them. The designer tries to explain to another draughtsman, modeler, or animator how to build a character their dimensions and how to keep them, their expressions and basic poses, colors, etc. The job of a character designer is exactly the same, but for characters. Designers of things like chairs, new car models or rockets, always seek to represent the dimensions of the object perfectly, and show how to build and assemble it.
