How do you do chat's expressions so well with just their eyes? (since they have a mask with a smile on it)

My god this ask has been sitting in my inbox since... January this year, i am so sorry for the delay anon Ovo

Anyways, thank you! I'm not really sure how to answer this, but i can give you a good example that sort of helped with inspiration, that being Gromit from Wallace and Gromit. I really love the way they're able to convey his expressions without having a mouth. It's all about making the eyes, eyebrows and general face shape expressive, like for example for Chat, making the eyes have creases underneath them whenever they're happy, to simulate a smile, or giving them eyebags whenever they're worried or exhausted uvu
