“I Only Have Eyes for you"
Draw 25 different expression emotional eyes.Then draw the same emotional/expression eyes in a cute/cartoonish/childish style or vice versa.
The idea was to see how many variations we could get by changing up brows, eyelids, pupil direction, etc. We were told that the first thing the audience looks for when connecting with a character on the screen are the eyes.
“While working at Disney many years ago, we were asked to do a drawing exercise to explore expression using only the eyes. Some of the eyes we drew ended up in The Illusion of Life book
Disney does this as an exercise and warm up.
Tips:
1.) The left eye doesn't have to do what the right eye is doing. Variation can add life to your expressions.
2.) Don't think of eyelids as "windshield wipers" or "venetian blinds" mechanically moving over the eye. They are soft fleshy parts that wrap around the eye and can change shape when pushed and pulled by facial muscles.”
2.) think of the distance and location of eyes.

Note:
Trust and connection rose up to 28% when the character looked them straight in the eyes.
