The Character Game

This is a game created by one of England’s famous artists,

Grayson Perry (the drawings are by him). He used to play it

with his daughter Flo when she was in primary school, so it is

for grown-ups too. It is fun if someone else joins in with you,

but you can do it on your own too. What you will need is

some sheets of paper or a sketchbook, any sort will do. Also

you’ll need drawing materials, which ever you like.

Draw each step on a separate piece of paper, fill the page

and draw quite fast, and just lose yourself in the story and the

detail. Talking about it with someone else while you are

doing it also adds to the fun, it helps to build the character.

Step 1 Think of a character: It can be anyone from anywhere

at any time, it does not even need to be human or even

real, it can be a fantasy creature. Now draw this character,

what do they look like? What sort of body do they have?

What are they wearing? How old are they? What do they do

all day? You can spend as long or as little as you like on

each step.

Step 2 Who do they live with? Draw their family or their pets.

Do they have children, how many, how old are they? How is

everyone dressed, what does it say about them and their

lives?

Step 3 Where they live: Draw the outside of their dwelling. Is it

a house? A flat? A bus? A castle? A tent? Think of your

character as if they were someone you met or know and

guess what sort of home they might live in. What sort of

garden do they have, is it tidy or messy? Garage? Shed?

Where is their house, in the country, city, suburb or town? Are

there trees, traffic, and other houses nearby? How old is their

home? What style? What country do they live in?

Step 4 Now draw inside their house. Is it their living room,

kitchen, bedroom, dining room or some other place? Is it tidy? What is their furniture

like? What is on their shelves? Where does the pet sleep? Wallpaper, lights, cushions,

TV, carpets – think about all these sorts of things and draw them. Think about the

choices your character would make, if you are playing with someone else have a

chat about it.

Next week there will be a second art challenge like this, so keep your drawings to

use next time. We will do more with them. If you really liked this do it again with new

characters. Enjoy!
