Get a Personalized Sketch and Signature in Drawing With Character!
Every copy includes an original, hand-drawn sketch and signature by Dave Alvarez on the first page—no two books are the same. This is more than a book… it’s a collectible piece of art.
 
Inside the Book
Drawing With Character is not just another artbook—it’s a powerful tool designed to transform the way you draw.
 
Drawing With Character is a practical and inspiring guide to creating characters that feel alive. Through sketches, breakdowns, and visual examples, Dave Alvarez shares his approach to building strong silhouettes, expressive poses, and believable personalities.
Rather than just showing finished art, this book gives you a look into the thinking behind the drawings—how shapes, gesture, and attitude work together to tell a story.
Dave—whose work spans Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros., Nickelodeon, Netflix, and more—brings his industry experience into a collection designed to help artists grow, experiment, and develop their own voice.
