Dj Bi na’s Answer

Artstation: A popular platform for professional artists, Artstation has a wide variety of character design portfolios. Many artists upload detailed character sheets showing turnarounds, expressions, and accessories. Search for "character design" or "character sheets" to find great examples.


2. DeviantArt: Another excellent platform where artists share their work. You can find character sheets by searching for specific keywords like “character turnaround” or “character design sheet.”

As Michelle showed above, quite brilliantly I may add, there are character reference sheets everywhere these days.

Personally, I use Pinterest, but since it’s recent surge in AI art posts, you may want to simply look around by searching keywords on Google or another search engine. Social media as well, many artists have uploaded reference sheets for their characters and if you’re just practicing then you are more than welcome to use their characters as inspiration. Please remember to credit the character’s original artist if you post the work you do though!!

Michelle’s Answer

Hello, Nghi !

You will be happy to know that there are some online character sheets that you can use to start your analysis.

To begin with, you can do a search on Pinterest and look at the Pin Boards of Jesse J. Jones and Sean David. There is also a useful resource on Reddit, too. I left links to these below. I also left a link to a list of analysis questions to help you evaluate. I also found some vintage character sheets in case you're interested (link is below).

You can also visit the Cartoon Art Museum on Beach Street with your camera and take some photos if there are any character sheets displayed. The website Art Rocket has a useful instruction for character art that you may find useful. I left that link for you below.

I do hope that you find these useful as a guide and I wish you well in all you do !
