LipSync – Expression sheets, chracter design clean up and turnarounds

Once I had narrowed down to a character I could confidently draw repetitively, I decided to take my design digitally. Using the ink tool on Procreate. I removed complex details to make it easier to animate. I found it difficult to keep a steady medium between a character that has unique aspects but was not too complex. After some careful decision making, I was happy with my character and made an expression sheet of different facial expressions that would be needed. I watched a number of interviews to study the movement of the persona face and made small studies that aided me in realistic expressions.

Moving towards creating a turn around sheet proved to e very challenging as it was my first time roasting a chracter, but by implementing guidelines I was able to keep each limb and facial feature aligned.
