Character: Posing and Expressions

Image
 Today's character session was a lot of fun. We were given a set of phrases and were tasked to pose them whilst we were drawn by the rest of the members of the group we were placed in.This was to help us better understand the structure of the "skeleton" that is created by the movement, as well as looking at how different shapes portray different emotions.   We were then asked to chose one of our favourite characters and alter their body language and facial expressions into the opposite of their normal personality.

So far, the story will be based around two robots. A lonely scientist has spent many years of his life dedicated to creating a new generation of robot. Robots that are capable of feeling and experiencing human emotions. But this is no simple task, for it involved a lot of trial and error, resulting in copious amounts of unsuccessful experiments. The most recent model of robot is still functioning, until it discovers that there is a newer robot being created on the table next to it. The now old robot becomes jealous of this newer model, but due to the emotion of jealousy being so vast and indescribable, the old robot
