I read number four and I actually looked. X3

Oh, and this is really helpful for me! My expressions were limited to "Angry", "Stressed", "Happy", "Blank", "Not Amused", and "You Can't be Serious."

Thanks!

Awesome Great expressions you did! I love that you managed to apply the tips in the tut to your own style, that is really what I was hoping the tutorial would be used for.

What you wrote on nr. 2 is exactly what I do when I read books... When I want to understand what they look like I find myself doing grimases XD Not on purpose!
But! You really taught me something here... I could use this for drawing too!
