Description
Simba sketches based off screenshots from the film except the one on the top right corner. While working on the basic construction, I kept noticing how many angles are in Simba's face, and that it's not all soft curves like you see in the coloring books. With so much details in the face and not much room for exaggeration I soon realized that most of his expressions were in his eyes. His eye are so important, put the detail in his eyes, and then sedulity on the face will create right expression. It is a lesson I will always keep in mind when doing character animation.

Wonderful expressions, here!
And you're right: The best method for expressing the character's emotions are in his large, bright eyes!! His English-language voice-actors, Jonathan Taylor-Thomas and Matthew Broderick, have always been artists who have used facial expressions -- especially Broderick, with his eyes -- to convey their characters' emotions to viewers. Fortunately, Disney animators Mark Henn (young Simba, for JTT) and Ruben Aquino (Broderick) used this fact, to make the character more real, to us!
