These are drawings of the main character Charlie, showing her facial expressions when she experiences different emotions. In these sketches, I explored the emotions of: Peaceful, Happy, Annoyed, Unsure, Confused, Focused and Angry. There are also sketches of the character from side views and how her arms may be positioned in shots where she is annoyed or confused.

This photo from Tangled shows the effectiveness of making the feature of the eyes larger, as the audience can tell what emotions Rapunzel is feeling without any dialogue.

In the comic, Paper Girls, the eyes are more realistic although still succeed to create meaning. In my comic, I want to find a balance between these.

These are sketches for the character Charlie and different emotions she will experience. For the first drawing, I took inspiration in the style of anime to be able to emphasis the sad look in the eyes and the tears falling.
The character Charlie will have blue coloured eyes which I hope will be a prominent and adored feature readers will pick up on. I wanted Charlie and her brother Jared to have blue eyes and brown hair as this is fairly rare, therefore they will stand out against other characters. |
