Okay I just want to say one thing: the first thing I thought about was Daft Punk, harder, better, faster, stronger. Just say this out loud, you will understand xD

Sketch it, build it, flip it, fix it

It totally fits the song xD Sorry, I just had to say this xD!

This was incredibly useful, so thank you very much! Posing/expression is something that I struggle with very much, and it sometimes intimidates me. This shed some more light on that subject, so thanks again!

Touching on the silhouette thing, for a lot of game design if they are trying to create a creature but have absolutely no or vague idea what they want it to look like, they'll have an artist draw hundred's of just plane silhouettes (no details in mind just simple ones) and choose the most appealing out of all of them and work from there. So if you're trying to come up with a basic look of something you're drawing, that's something to try out

Source so I'm not just flappin' my mouth. This discusses the difficulties of not only character creation, but making it a playable aspect AND already working with a general look from the history of the games as well. Looooots of things to think about:

I know lots of people can like, slap some sort of a shape on canvas and refine it and trim it down and sort of work the opposite way that I described here. Silhouettes are amazing things.
