Second exercise of term 2. We were given a pre-made character for this so we could focus on the expressions instead of the design. We were once again asked to explore a character interacting with a few listed things and I chose to make my character interact with visual media on a screen while they were knitting.
Acting reference:
Final result:
Feedback and corrections made: I was asked to make the character blink at certain intervals for it to look more natural. And to exaggerate the poses.
Reflection: Exploring expressions finally was a very distinguishable step up from all our previous exercises. It started to feel more human in a way. I’ve always loved the art of storytelling through expressions. I believe a person’s face can tell as many stories as their words can.
