Ryan Maloney shares a method for improving character designs in Procreate: rate each facial feature on a 1-to-10 scale, then nudge each one slightly higher with every stroke. A nose at 2 becomes a 3 or 4, and repeating this across all features gradually makes the whole character pop.

Here's some tips to hopefully improve your character designs. Think of each part of your character having a scale of 1 to 10. So the nose, the eyes, the mouth. And when you draw that nose, think to yourself, can I push this a little bit more towards a 10? Maybe your drawing skill for a nose is at a 2. Can you push it to a 3 or 4? Then go around that drawing, every single element, and see if you can push it a little bit further every single stroke. After some time, each one of those features is going to get better and better, and your character is going to pop.
