Description
Keep a recurring character recognisable across many images or video shots — face, hair, body, wardrobe, palette and distinguishing marks. Use for named characters, mascots, hosts, series, storyboards, comic panels, character turnarounds and any multi-scene video where the same person or creature must appear twice.

Starter prompt
The exact brief that produced the image above.
A character reference sheet on a warm light grey studio background, filling the frame. The same stylised young woman with a cropped auburn bob and a mustard scarf, drawn four times in a row: front view, three-quarter view, profile and back view, with identical features and an identical outfit in every one. Thin pale grey hairline dividers between the four poses, a small row of four costume colour swatches beneath. Bright flat even light, clean light grey ground with no background detail, crisp linework, no lettering.
