Silhouette. This is what will make thake character interesting or not

Gravity. Look at a crappy character compared to a good character.
The main thing you will notice is that one feels more "grounded" or "affected" by gravity. Giving the character weight and believe-ability.

If you can draw or gesture characters its a huge bonus too. but not the end of the world if you cant. Although I have yet to meet a character artist whom could not draw....
