Set a goal of trying different ideas rather than producing a perfect character. Offer a private sketch option and make it clear that participants may choose whether to show their work.
Try this
Ask learners to make a character move in two contrasting ways and name one thing they like about each attempt. The discussion celebrates decisions, not a contest between drawings.
Take it further
Avoid comparing participants or presenting one design as the model everyone must copy. A facilitator can share their own unfinished sketch to demonstrate that changing an idea is a normal part of making something.
