When you decide to draw a new character, your intention is to transfer what’s in your mind onto paper or tablet. But as you begin to draw, you notice that the character takes a few twists and turns and doesn’t look exactly like what you had in mind.
People make all sorts of corrections at this point – but don’t fight it. This is a good development. The character is trying to tell you that while it appreciates the starting point you came up with, it has a better idea of who it wants to be.
Give it some rein. You can always change it back later.
After all, you have an eraser and it doesn’t!
