Whenever I write a book I usually try to draw some of the characters before I write them in, usually to get an idea for how they would like or even their personality.
One character I'm writing, who I will refer to as Nate; is a character I'm really struggling to design. I have a few ideas here and there, but none of them I've been able to stick with. Can you guys help me figure him out?

@Yamatsu

I have some advice from another user on how to describe their body type:

Start with the face (sharp eyes, round face, connected earlobes, flat nose, etc.)
Shoulders, arms, and hands (broad, muscular arms, long fingers, short fingernails, etc.)
Torso (Big chest, small chest, barrel chest, flat, chubby, ripped, etc.)
Legs (full hips, muscular legs, big feet, thin calves, etc.)

Then, you just add any interesting bits like scars, beauty marks, etc.
Genitalia is at your discretion, or the Rule 34 artists.

Ooh, I do the same thing. What's the genre/setting? I might be able to help a bit.

It's a sci-fi/ action/ romance/ drama

Alright, cool! I think most of it is obviously up to you, but do you have any particular climate that your characters live in?

No particular climate, I've actually started juggling with the idea that the character travels from planet to planet as a delivery boy

Oh, nice! If you're looking for clothing tips, I would suggest something easy to move around in if he travels so much and delivers stuff. Do you have any alien races?

Well, yeah. You know what I mean. Can you describe them at all? It might be nice for your character to not just be a human, unless you want that.

I don't have any specific races for the moment, but I have been considering adding features to him like horns and fangs

Okay, nice. That sounds like a good start!
