We had a character designer called Gillian Reed come in to talk to us abut character design and she gave us little exercises to do.
So for this project I chose to design an evil genius baby, maybe some part of me feels I can relate? at least to the evil part
So here are some of the rough character poses I came up with for the baby.
I gave him devilish ears and a diaper that's way too big for him. And a massive head.
Then we were asked to come up with the most important expressions for that character that described its personality, so I put down the 5 most relevant ones for him I could think of:
His face changed quite a bit by the end of the exercise but I think I prefer him this way. I'd like his ears to droop or straighten according to his expression. Gillian gave us the tip to try and draw expressions in the three quarter perspective view/
Okay, last but not least here's what my favorite thing to do as a kid was -
I don't know if anyone really does this, but it was just the most relaxing thing, to gently float on the water's edge and watch the clouds move with the sun on your face.
I could stay there for ages.

I used to do that floating thing by the pool too!
