Expression in drawing

The thing i love about animation the most and the reason why I'm on this course is the fact that the art of drawing is a medium to convey feelings, emotions and a drawing is an extension of the artist. Assuming the artist is skilled in the technical aspects of drawing he can then communicate his feelings to another person without words or anything but marks on paper. With animation however there is a greater potential for expression and visual communication as the drawings can now move.

The drawings below are keys from Pocahontas and are so expressive, the fact that they are so well drawn allows the expressive quality of the drawings to come out.
