Work out what it is you are going to make. You are going to make a human shaped charater using a tutorial to make video game characters. You could make a:

• Superhero

• Celebrity

If you are unsure what you should make then do a self portrait of you in school uniform.

SKIP THIS STEP IF YOU HAVE USED INKSCAPE BEFORE

If you have never used Inkscape before then you should get started using the tutorial to make a penguin which introduces you to some of the basic controls.

There is a tutorial on 2D Guru that works through the method for making your character. You will need to scroll down a bit to where the tutorial starts as there is lots of information on character design principles.
