Read a lot of books with Guardian characters, and as you read, _pay attention to your own reactions to the story_. Then step back and ask yourself why certain scenes or paths of character development worked or didn’t work for you as a reader. It can be especially helpful to collect examples of stories that work _badly_, and stories that “break the rules” but seem to work anyway. Adler and Van Doren’s _How to Read a Book_ also provides some useful tips on research in general.
