Because I've been doing a lot of original stuff recently, I figured I'd come in clutch for the OC artists and writers and give you all my HUGE OC bio template for you to use.
For art, I'd suggest a full body reference sheet with colour swatches. A sheet of their most worn outfits/uniforms if they wear any and objects they carry. Headshots with different expressions, different hair styles if they have any, makeup vs no makeup if they wear any etc. if you want to be extra through you can draw their bedroom/what's in their bag to get a slice of how they live their life day to day.
