Are these sentenses all correct? Any difference in meaning?
1. Draw one of the characters of the book.
2. Draw one of the characters from the book.
3. Draw one of the characters in the book. |

Of the three sentences, 1 and 2 are trying to say the same thing.
2: "From" is normal and correct.
1:"of" is not the natural thing to say. It's understandable, but sounds like a beginner.
3: "in" sounds like you are saying something different. It sounds like you are being told where to draw, and the characters could be from anywhere.
Hope helps,
