How to Illustrate Cute & Captivating Characters

 

When it comes to drawing cute characters, you’ve likely heard the same advice before to give them the physical features of babies. This is sound advice.

Babies (human and animal) are, after all, the epitome of cuteness. The physical characteristics of babies are what convey their adorableness - e.g. they have big eyes and large foreheads, their heads are soft, round and larger than their bodies.

You’ve done all that, and yet somehow your characters look rather flat and generic. So how do you go a step further and transform an average cute character into an endearing one that captivates and creates an emotional connection with your audience?
