To make the character design more appealing, you have to pick the right color palette. For example, we pick purple, red, and yellowish color to this boy character design. Even though we pick the purple color (that isn't really common to wear for boys), it still looks like a great combination because we put it into the same tone as the yellow and the red color.

Knowing that our target audience for this children's book character is for American-European kids, we gave the character a blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin. We do this because we want to make our character relatable to the audience.
