What are some good resources for character development for animation and comics?

Hi. I am interested in producing my own animation and comics. I would like to showcase them online in video from and in other formats, on as many platforms as I can and capitalize off of them.

Storytelling in animation and comics is important, but so is character development, especially if you are producing a series. Memorable cartoons and comics have memorable characters. You don't want a bunch of bland, flat, one-dimensional, cookie-cutter characters. You want fleshed-out, developed characters with their own set of attributes that define who the characters are. Distinct personalities is a given and helps characters stand out.

A good creator knows how a character thinks, and what makes him tick. He knows how a character would react in any given situation. He knows what a character's strengths and flaws are. He knows how a certain character would react and relate to other characters, and vice versa.

I am searching for books online that focus on character development for animation and comics- I have not really found any yet.

Please help- thank you.
