Ran through a little challenge based on this template: galactibun.tumblr.com/post/154…
Letting another choose a character and the emotion, I would try to draw it.

This is an interestingly odd way to draw emotions. Instead of taking a defined emotion and project that onto a character, you draw a fixed expression on a character... It's odd because emotions and expressions aren't necessarily connected the same way among people. Two characters having the same emotion could express them differently and vice versa.

a side effect of this is showing here with Kohrak Va: The first time I analysed the little yellow expression I read it as 'Disgust' and 'Confused'. So I tried to project this kind of 'Disgust' and 'Confusion' onto my character. When I was done and compared the template with my own, i noticed the template looks more 'fearful' and 'surprised' than my interpretation of it. One could argue that I've read the emotion correctly and the two faces just express them a bit differently, but it would be impossible to know if I didn't say anything.

Emotions and Expressions are so fascinating.
