Are you suggesting that Eragon is a bad book?

Even worse than Twilight? I actually liked it, but then again I read it like 5 years ago. What about it was so bad? My memory is foggy. All I really remember about it was that this dude finds a dragon and is like: YYYEEAAAAAAHHHHH.

You thought Eragon was bad, you should read Eldest.
Actually, don't.
At least Twilight was intended to be a crappy romance.

I could not get through the first chapter of Eldest. I don't know how I read Eragon all the way through!

People have used the excuse that 'he was fifteen when he wrote it'. I'm fifteen and I can write better!

I have to commend you on your tutorials, they are wonderful. You really know how to make people think about what they are reading rather than just preaching.

Also, I totally cannot help but mimic the expression I am drawing, I can't even stop myself even if I'm in a crowded room. I'm sure I look like a goon sometimes grinning and scowling while I draw.

Awesome reference for expressions is in Scott McCloud's "Making Comics"
All his examples are just a straight-on face pretty much but he goes through a vast range of expressions of every degree. I have that page perma-bookmarked and look at it again and again.
Thanks for this tutorial, it's great

i love you. I really do. I've finally gotten to the point in my art where I can actually draw something without it looking like crap, so I've been *trying* to work on poses and facial expressions next. And completely totally utterly fail at it. I think this'll help me out a LOT!

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THESE AMAZING TUTORIALS!!!
