Welcome to the first video of Shopkeeper month, a theme covering things like characters that are shopkeepers but also how you as an artist are or can be, a shopkeeper. Character design benefits from context. A design existing in a blank void can be strong, but it’s so much better to add elements that surround them- a story, other characters, and, as we’ll talk about, things like sets, props, and environments.
