Development: Expression Sheets

 Below are the sketches I used in development of my expression sheets. Using the pose sheet I looked at previously in my research, I considered what sorts of expressions I wanted to showcase for each of my characters. Sunny is an expressive character, and they go through a wide range of emotions in the film, so I needed to draw them expressing a wide range of facial expressions. 
I started this process using the simplified, cartoony style that I used for my animatic, but this changed when I referred back to a drawing I had done several years ago of a crying expression that I wanted to reference for Sunny. 

A drawing I did in 2015, which I referenced when working on my expression sheets

Looking at this drawing, and others of its time, I departed from the cartoony style and leaned into a slightly more detailed style for the rest of the expression sheets.
