What Does Your Character Look Like?

Determining what your character looks like should come at the beginning. This way you readers will know immediately who you are referring to and what they are represented by.

There are many ways you can decide which look to go with for your character. Here are some options:

1. Draw the character and label the main features.
2. Make a graph like the graph below.

See if you can picture the example character listed, with all of the major features. I mean to offend no one by saying what these (examples) characters look like. They are not to offend. They are supposed help you picture you character.

(Examples)	Eyes	Hair	Nose	Mouth	Eyebrows	Forehead	Body	Clothes
Sarah	Brown	Brown	Stubby	Slim	Narrow	Wide	Tall	Casual
Piper	Green	Blonde	Pointy	Red	Shaped	Slim	5’7	Fancy
Matthew	Brown	Dark	Bulge	Thick	Wide	Huge	Typical	Raggy
Michael	Dark	Blonde	Thin	Big	Thick	Wide	Thin	Cool

3. You can ask someone else what he/she would think that your character would look like based upon the description of personality and name.

I hope you now have a good sense of what your character looks like!
