I really love this book, it teaches a lot on how to properly design the characters and how to emotionally connect with others. Also the assignments are a great way to challenge yourself and put the knowledge in practice. I've already read the whole book and I can tell my character designs are getting better just from reading the book! This one is a good complement of Tom's previous book "Creating Characters with Personality"!
5 stars, highly recommend it if you're serious about becoming a character designer!
