Devious

LINE OF ACTION: Devious characters are a lot of fun to animate. Their expressions are multi-layered with sarcasm, anger, laughter, intent...it's all there. A devious expression leads with the cocked eyebrow on one side and a healthy smirk. The amount of deception will be sub-text within the intensity of the expression. Jack Nicholson is an actor who has made a devious expression his trademark.

DEFINITION: Not straightforward; shifty: a devious character. Departing from the correct or accepted way; erring: achieved success by devious means. Deviating from the straight or direct course; roundabout: a devious route. Away from a main road or course; distant or removed.
