Book Free DemoCharacter sketch is an account of a character from a book or story. A character sketch is a mental image of the person covering all details, including how the person appears, talks, dresses, acts, thinks etc. Usually describing words are used to explain the characteristics of the person. A sketch does not refer to a diagrammatic presentation, here it means a written summary.
Remember the following when writing a character sketch:
- Include age, gender, physical appearance of the character.
- Think about your character's overall emotions and feelings.
- Explain the character's relationship to the story, the main character and other characters of the story.
- Keep the sketch short and to the point - too many details will dilute the essence of the character.
