For 2D animation I'd give my students this model sheet to follow, to try and give a feel of a real studio environment where you would all be working on the same cartoon.
I got quite a few variations on the character.

Nigel is a character from an old comic I did in 1994. I got the name Kenyan from a Frank Zappa character called Michael Kenyan (who is a real person, famous for giving people colonic irrigations during his bank robberies).
