Character Design with Basic Shapes

Fun, colourful, and playful

The possibilities are endless when it comes to character design using basic shapes. Designers get to mix and match circles, squares, triangles, and other shapes to make their characters come to life. By using simple shapes as building blocks, designers can create all sorts of wacky and unique characters that are easy to recognise and fun to look at. 

 

In this project, I designed five characters with different monotone colours each with different personalities according to their shapes. You may notice, yes, the style is inspired by Disney’s Inside Out characters. I was so fascinated by how they design characters and I tried it when I was designing the characters.
