So I was super bored at work yesterday and I just started sketching out a random character so at some point I could animate him, instead of my ball with stick legs.
I've never really tried to design a character before, but I was keeping some things in mind when I sketched this out. I wanted to keep the body a pretty simple shape, so I settled on something thats pretty round. I also wanted to make sure that his eyes are able to express different emotions, as well as having something on top of his head to also help me express emotion, and for motion overlap.
So this is what I came up with as my first version. I only did the head and the body at work. The legs, arms, and entire side view I completed after I got home.

After completing that, I decided that I didn't like the shape of his head anymore, so I worked on a second version today. The height of the head and body remained the same. The head was made skinnier, as well as an addition to the sides of his head. The body was made more rounded so he has more of a belly instead of just being wide.

I'm currently doing some hand drawings. I've settled on 3 fingers to keep it simple. I haven't had a chance to scan these yet.
*Edit 2*
Drew a couple of facial expressions and scanned along with the hands. Here it is.

Added some more faces:
