Not only kids and kids at heart could appreciate different character designs. And not all character designs would include an image of a cartoon character or anything that one would fancy. When we speak of characters, this would refer to something that is created in order to express an imagination or to do some representation. It can also be a source of fun and entertainment. Or maybe it is just created due to the limitless creativity of a cartoon creator. There are really instances that an artist would just scribble some lines and come up with a great character. He might not the intention to use that for anything but just made it up from his imagination.

Well, aside from the cartoon characters that we usually see on comic books or in the television, there are other characters that are the fruits of creativity. Some of them end up locked in an artists’ drawer while some end up on an online portfolio. Others end up becoming a pattern. Yes, even character designs can look great as a pattern. Why don’t you take at look at the character patterns below?
