"The expression you make after reading Eragon," haha, that's truth right there xD


But anyway, this was a helpful and amusing read. And I always make the face I'm trying to capture when I draw, too.

I always catch myself having the same facial expression like the character I draw. I drew a crying person lately and I was nearly crying myself. It's a bit scary O.o
Anyway, thanks for the tutorial, it's really helpful

True, the Eragon series is one of my favorite series. I don't why would use that as example for a disgusted face.
