I put together a eight lesson course in designing characters for animation a few years ago. This was the both the print poster and as well on-line graphic.
I've worked in the Animation business since 1979 being, variously, an animator, designer, storyboard artist, supervising director and instructor. I've worked for such companies as Nelvana, Hanna Barbera, Softimage, Warner Brothers Feature Animation and the Cartoon Network.
