facial expressions

In most animations the model has got character. This can be done by making and animating the face. In Wallace and Gromit, Wallace has character, things like him liking cheese. This is shown by the acting and the talking but Gromit can't talk and he has loads of character. He is animated very carefully to show expression on his brow (Nick Park's speciallity) and eyes.
These are a few i drew for my catapillar animation.
Sorry about the quality.

1.ashamed

8.angy shouting
9.confused (one eyebrow up, one down)
10.angry
