Welcome to Character Mentor Studio!

Character Mentor Studio - by Tom Bancroft. This is the home for all things related to designing and drawing characters for all forms of media: TV animation, Film animation, video games, comic strips, comic books, illustration, and marketing art! For the last 25 years I have been working in the animation/character design/ art direction/ and illustration worlds with the one baseline between them all being the focus of creating memorable characters with personality. I look forward to passing on my experience and continued search for artistic knowledge here at Character Mentor Studio. Its my wish to not only offer these books here, but more information via the BLOG, Tutorial videos, sketch postings, and- soon- new products and workshops! Keep coming back and let's develop together!
