Expression Practice


LiraCrown

Recommended Posts

Expressions are commonly one of my weak points when drawing. My faces are often stiff for cartoon characters. So I spent some time today practicing squishing their mushy lil' faces a bit more then I normally do. I have determined I like making angry, displeased and otherwise disapproving faces for some reason.

Expressions seem easy up fount but there is a lot of little subtle things that you don't realize until you go to try and recreate them.

Happy=Mouth turned up and sad=mount turned down; isn't always right. Sad faces can have raised cheeks like that of a smile,

but have eyes that are contorted like disgust; congratulations, you made sorrow.

 

Cartoon faces are almost ironically harder then realistic ones. Cartoon faces should be easy because they have so much more

flexibility then a real face. The problem is know how to use the flexibility and sometimes remembering that you are, in fact, working

with a face that NEEDS to be exaggerated to get the most effect.

 

It's tough stuff.
