I feel that to an extent, I achieved portraying emotions and actions using my characters facial features. I feel that I did this through accentuating certain features, such as his nose, eyebrows and wrinkles in order to depict these emotions. For example, in the drawing of him sneezing, I exaggerated his nose size and his nostrils to create a focal point of this action. The sketch I did of him looking at a dead butterfly, which is meant to depict sorrow and sadness, I made his nose hang further over his mouth, and lifted his mouth up slightly to give a sense of sadness. This is something that I learned from Eric Goldberg's book called The Animation Crash Course where he discusses how important drag is on features of a character when movement is involved.
Adding details such as wrinkles emphasise my characters movements and emotions, and also portray a sense of texture to his skin.
