Character Mentor Lessons

Tom Bancroft wrote this book called "Character Mentor" which is ridiculously helpful. It's full of little tricks and methods that help with the whole process of designing characters effectively, most of which I now employ in my own work. He goes through everything from facial expressions and the importance of a head tilt to centering and balancing a character from initial sketch to finished composition. I found a copy on Amazon and I now use it every time I begin a new sketch (= Helpfulness level: over 9000.
