As promised, here is this monthβs tutorial video: Expressions & Emotions! β¨ This is one of my favorite subjects in drawing because emotion is so important for character design, and I love giving my characters an emotional and expressive feel! π I hope you guys enjoy watching the video ππ
Thank you all for such an amazing month!!

2020-08-31 17:07:50 +0000 UTCGlad you enjoyed it!! π and yes! I think that aspect depends on the style youβre going for, because it definitely works for a more realistic style. My style is more cartoony/based off of anime, which rarely has those kinds of details except through subtle light and shadow to give the cheeks a more lifted look! Sometimes subtlety is all you need to communicate the same features, so instead of drawing the entire smile line, you could sketch a smaller one near the corner of the mouth for example π€ but itβs really about the depth of detail youβre aiming for! π

2020-08-31 13:34:05 +0000 UTCLoved this tutorial! Have you ever tried painting details such as the cheeks from the reference photo (such as in the happy reference)? I think that they add a lot to the subject in photography, but it feels like there would be too much detail in a digital painting π€

2020-08-31 08:18:15 +0000 UTCYay! βΊοΈ so happy you enjoyed it! And yes! I actually learned that from observing a lot of anime, thereβs so much expression that can be seen in the line directions of their hair and clothing, it really adds to their overall emotion! π
