Now lets learn How to Approach a Character Sketch
 First thing, If analyzing a
character, you can focus
upon, how the person
changes, his or her attitude
toward others,
 how the person changes,
his or her role in the story.
 You can list the person's
likes and dislikes and how
you feel about the
character.

Please concentrate, how is your
character physically?
Dear students, Physical
characteristics are the first
things we notice when we meet
someone.
Therefore, this is a good starting
point when writing a character
sketch.
Is your character a woman or a
man?
Is he or she tall or short?
Is your character bald?
How old is your character?
Does he or she have a disability?
Presented by rajiv sir
Also write down how is your character
physically?
Do you know, The physical details of
the main characters are
representations of their internal
state.
Without a vivid description of this
character's physicality,
a critical element of the plan would be
lost and the central conflict would
be missing.
Answering questions about your
character's physicality is the first
step in creating a fully realized
character.

 You should know What is your
character doing?
This is the next question to ask because it brings into account other aspects of story
writing such as setting and time.
The answer to this question will also affect other aspects of your sketch, such as
what your character is tiring or how he or she is feeling.
Look at the pictures.
What is the girl doing?
Why does the boy look backward while studying?
Are these two people happy?
What is the mood of the bird?

Presented by rajiv sir

 What is your character doing?
Is your character walking down the street?
Is he or she sitting in a park?
Is your character working on a boat?
Asking what your character is doing will not only help you understand your character, but
also his or her relationship to the setting in the story

Presented by rajiv sir

What is your character feeling?

This is probably one of the more complex

questions you can ask about your
character.
Is your character angry?
Is he or she happy, sad, tired, or depressed?
Does your character love something or
someone?
you have to focus on what your subject is
feeling within the context of the story
rarely explicitly stated in the story Implicitly
showing how your character is feeling by
his or her interactions with other
characters
the setting is infinitely more interesting to
read than explicitly stating whether your
character is happy, sad, elated, joyful, or
miserable.
