Inspiration: Model Sheet and Character Design

A model sheet is a document that shows a character's facial or body features. Colors play a crucial role in character design because colors strengthen characters' personalities. For example, Asuka's red suit in Neon Genesis Evangelion brings out her passionate and somewhat fiery temper.
