**The career that I have chosen is character design. This example is a demonstration of what they must do. A person who designs the character for a movie, graphic novel, video game or TV show must fit the description of what their boss wants the character to look like. In this case, the character of Jack Sparrow was an excellent choice for the Pirates of the Caribbean.**

**In addition, the person designing the character must also make several sketches to show how the character will look in different positions throughout the environment or story that the character will be in. In this image, the designers has sketched out how this character will look walking in all directions.**

**Lastly, the character designer must portray different emotions that the character will feel in any situation. He must draw out how they would react and what they would look like reacting to particular events. This image shows sketches of different emotions of a character from "Despicable me."**

 * The job of the character designer is to design the character for a movie, graphic novel, video game or TV show and must fit the description of what their boss wants the character to look like. The designer must also portray the character reacting to different situations and mapping out what they look like running, walking, jumping, climbing, crouching, crawling, or any moment what so ever that they might experience doing. Do be this type of designer one must have skills in the art of drawing whether it be on paper or digitally. A designer in this field would need a 2 or 4 year degree in design or animation in art school. The average salary for a character designer is $61,000 a year. To get started in this field you must put yourself out there as an artist, do sketches and promote yourself to companies. A typical day in this field will be taking orders from your superior to do sketches for a new character right away, he may turn down all of them so prepare. I plan to self promote myself by doing amazing sketches and handing out business cards to major TV, movie, or video game producers. This will allow clients to see my best work and hopefully accept me.**
