What are some common mistakes to avoid when creating comic characters?

Avoid creating characters that are too generic or similar to existing ones. Don't neglect the importance of silhouette – ensure your character is recognizable. Be mindful of consistency; maintain a consistent style and avoid sudden changes in design. Don't overcomplicate the design; simplicity often enhances impact. Finally, don't be afraid to iterate and revise your designs – the first version is rarely the final one.
