The Silver Way: Techniques, Tips, and Tutorials for Effective Character Design Review: Wonderful insightful instruction - I have had the privilege of meeting Stephen Silver both at a convention years ago and again when I went to a 4 hour instructional he hosted when passing through my city. This book showcases his knowledge and breaks down character design and caricature in a wonderfully clear way that helps you improve your character design skills no matter what level you are at. For a professional level artist such as myself it has reminded me of techniques that I had either forgotten or let lapse on top of giving me new ways to think about my process. There are some tips and tricks I had never heard of that are truly great. For anyone interested in just straight caricature or character design for illustration and animation this is a must have for your studio. Review: This is a NECESSARY book for illustrators - As a professional illustrator, this is a MUST HAVE for artists. Definitely more specifically for character designers, but it does have a lot of lessons for general illustrators. I graduated college with very basic knowledge on character design. I saw that the great Stephen Silver was creating a book for it, and I instantly bought it. A couple of hours of reading and I already learned more about character design than what I learned in college. One of the most important things that I learned from this book is necessary communication through silhouette and shapes. These things will give your characters variety and will help them stand out from the rest. I'm still going through and trying to absorb all the knowledge that it has. Thank you Mr. Silver, I hope to meet you one day! You rock! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #91,957 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #79 in How To Create Comics & Manga | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 992 Reviews | ## Images ![The Silver Way: Techniques, Tips, and Tutorials for Effective Character Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71fJpUhIcyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful insightful instruction *by C***Y on April 3, 2022* I have had the privilege of meeting Stephen Silver both at a convention years ago and again when I went to a 4 hour instructional he hosted when passing through my city.

Definitely more specifically for character designers, but it does have a lot of lessons for general illustrators. I graduated college with very basic knowledge on character design. I saw that the great Stephen Silver was creating a book for it, and I instantly bought it. A couple of hours of reading and I already learned more about character design than what I learned in college.

Thank you Mr. Silver, I hope to meet you one day! You rock! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The other reviews weren't exaggerating; this book really is THAT good *by A***K on January 21, 2020* I have barely dipped my toes into this thick book and I already love it. And it is indeed thick, one of the thickest/biggest art instruction books I have the pleasure of owning. I was surprised by that to be honest, it is a much thicker book than I expected! There is so much fantastic and useful advice in this book, and it's presented in a nice orderly way with tons of great suggestions, tips, and exercises. It's not just a bunch of art with a little text. This book is truly instructional and it is impossible not to learn something from it. I only have ONE complaint and it's not about the content of the book or Mr. Silver's art, but instead it's about the shape of the book: it's quite wide and not tall. I saw the general shape before buying it, but when you combine the shape of the book with the thickness and overall weight, the wider-than-taller shape is both impractical to hold and also makes it difficult to fit in with the rest of the books on a shelf. I really really wish they had not designed the book this way, and I hope future editions will be a more standard shape. That said, if you are on the fence about this book, BUY IT! It is wonderful. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Silver Way: Techniques, Tips, and Tutorials for Effective Character Design - Fundamentals of Character Design: How to Create Engaging Characters for Illustration, Animation & Visual Development - Creating Stylized Characters --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/41161281-the-silver-way-techniques-tips-and-tutorials-for-effective-character](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/41161281-the-silver-way-techniques-tips-and-tutorials-for-effective-character) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-21*
