When I'm drawing an expression I end up unconsciously making that face haha. It helps with getting it to look more real I suppose, because when I catch myself and stop it doesn't feel right and the expression isn't as good.

Hey now, Eragon wasn't that bad, was it? I mean the next two just went downhill, but I quite liked the first one...
To each their own, I guess.
Anyhow, thanks for posting this - lots of tweaks and things to try in my own art!

Number four at the end was just evil. EVIL.

pshh. not only do i make faces when i draw, i find myself makeing the faces of the charicters whenever i read books. it had gotten me many a funny look.

For me, when thinking of scenes of characters, I pull the same faces they do, so during class, walking down the hall, and at dinner time, I would pull off strange faces. You're not alone, buddy.

Very nice! I don't understand the Eragon one though, but maybe that's because I've never read them. lol

What the heck do you have against Eragon? Those are the only books I'd read.

Perhaps some classics are in order? Hmmmmm? (I have nothing against the books personally BUT....)

I hope you're joking. If not, my condolences.

I have a full time job and draw in my free time so I'll admit I've probably not read many fantasy novels, but I've read the Inherritence cycle twice. I really love the magic system Christopher came up with.

Well, you deserve a LOT better, let me tell you. Everything in that book is derivative if you're well-read enough to spot it. No fault of yours if you haven't got the time to read a wide range (finding the best authors can take time) but one day you'll reread that book and realize what a steaming, insulting pile it is.

its been over four years since you made this... I thought I'd be better at expressions by now :tear:
