Ideation is a creative process where you generate ideas through sessions such as Brainstorming, Sketching, Worst Possible Idea, and a wealth of other ideation techniques.
Before starting to look for ideas, you need a clearly defined problem to tackle – a focused problem statement or point of view (POV) to inspire and guide everyone. “How might we…?”
Ideation is about Finding New Angles and you need to remember that there are no bad ideas. It's not about coming up with the right ideas, it's about generating the broadest range of possibilities.
“How might you create a CHARACTER?”

On an A4/A3 page you are to sketch a range of ideas for your character design
Include design notes explaining a little about your designs and what was influencing them.
If you have a theme you might like to include that on the page - in this example the theme was robots.
If you need help getting started just draw shapes. Does it have legs, arms, antenna, headphones, holding an item? Is it influenced by your favourite things like pandas, dinosaurs, flowers, crosses etc
