Having trouble making character designs and clothing, any tips?

I suggest u look at pictures with clothing/character designs, and try to base off some outfits/designs from it. Seuris is an excellent example. Crazy-awesome outfits, and as an added bonus, amazing character designing.

MephilesTheDark and Emo-Bunny are alternatives. X3

Alright, a good tip for clothing on a character is to begin with the basics, such as a plain coloured shirt. Then add patterns of accessories that accompany the character's job, personality, of backstory. Hope it helped. :3

For clothes designing, I generally look at clothing magazines, or, if it's specialist clothing (like gothic lolita) I look on websites like Milanoo.com

As for actually designing the character, I can't really help u there o3o' I used to use Gen8's furry doll maker for some inspiration, though. Maybe that'll help you.

"What I usually do is look up pictures from video games that usualyl match what I'm feeling for.
"Then u just improve of take away from the outfit until it's yours. Stealing is sorta WRONG when it comes to clothing...so...
"Add stuff, even if it's a pocket zipper for a beanie of something.
"Another way is to just doodle. u might find something cool in the scribbles."
