MD: The many faces of Tenzin. Tenzin’s design is very realistic, and sometimes it’s difficult for the artists to give him exaggerated expressions in the final animation. Expression sheets like this one are provided to the animators to help bring the characters to life.

JD: To this day I geek out over a well-executed expression sheet! These drawings aid not only the animators but also the storyboard crew and directors. Unfortunately, due to the schedule, we are not abot to generate expression sheets for every character, but usually all the main characters are given one.
