A lot of people on twitter wanted me to explain how I draw expressions, so here you go
Unless you're drawing explicit realism, in my opinion, expressions should be exaggerated to some degree. If you aren't doing a 1:1 recreation, the point is to get the FEELING across. Try making the expression you want to draw and feeling how your face pinches and stretches.
Skin doesn't just "disappear" when your face moves it around --- that's where wrinkles come from! Pay attention to where your skin creases when you emote, and use it to your benefit. It's a fine line between overdoing it and underdoing it -- find your own balance.
Ultimately, every expression has a little bit of push and pull, unless your face is completely neutral (and even then, there are still some wrinkles...). Learning to think of expressions as actions and reactions is VERY helpful in learning to draw them without needing a reference, and in learning how to stylize and push expressions based on references as well!
I think a lot of people end up with stiff or unexpressive emotions in their art because they're just trying to recreate a picture instead of understanding WHY and HOW the face is moving --- and it's a tough thing that takes a while to really pick up and learn. Hopefully is helpful in showing a way of thinking about it that can influence your process and approach to emotions!!!
Also, bonus: even without the lines, the planes alone still show a LOT of emotion.
WHEN IT HURTS TO ADMIT IT Prompts
β‘ βI donβt know when I stopped feeling like myself, but I know it wasnβt all at once.β
β‘ βI keep waiting to miss this life more than I hate it.β
β‘ βI donβt even know if Iβm sad or just tired of pretending Iβm not.β
β‘ βYou ever wake up and realize youβre living a life you didnβt mean to choose?β
β‘ βI donβt hate you. I just donβt recognize who I am around you anymore.β
β‘ βI thought if I ignored it long enough, it would go away. It didnβt.β
β‘ βIβm not asking you to fix it. I just need you to stop telling me itβs fine.β
β‘ βI keep telling myself this is enough, but it never sounds convincing.β
β‘ βI donβt know what I want, I just know this isnβt it.β
β‘ βIβm scared that if I stop, everything Iβve been holding together will fall apart.β
β‘ βI donβt want to leave. I just donβt want to stay like this.β
β‘ βI donβt feel brave. I feel cornered.β
β‘ βEvery time I say Iβm okay, something in me flinches.β
β‘ βI donβt know how to explain this without sounding ungrateful.β
β‘ βI keep thinking there has to be more than just getting through the day.β
β‘ βI donβt trust myself to make a decision because what if I regret all of them?β
β‘ βI donβt know who Iβd be if I wasnβt needed all the time.β
β‘ βI thought being strong would feel different than this.β
β‘ βI donβt want to disappear. I just want the noise to stop.β
β‘ βI donβt know how to ask for help without feeling like I failed.β
β‘ βI keep hoping something will force my hand so I donβt have to choose.β
β‘ βI donβt know how to leave without hurting someone.β
β‘ βI donβt want to be the reason everything changes.β
β‘ βI donβt know if Iβm scared of losing this or scared of keeping it.β
β‘ βI feel like Iβm watching my own life instead of living it.β
β‘ βI donβt know how much longer I can carry this and still call it living.β
β‘ βI keep thinking tomorrow Iβll feel different. Tomorrow keeps showing up the same.β
β‘ βI donβt know if Iβm asking for permission or forgiveness.β

To fly through something like this. Augh please gimme π₯Ί
If you canβt find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesnβt deserve such majesty anyway.
It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblogβ¦
the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck
@hellsite-hall-of-fame
If you see this on your dashboard, reblog this, NO MATTER WHAT and all your dreams and wishes will come true.
Oh hey! Havenβt seen this in forever! Didnβt reblog it when it came across me before, not gonna skip it this time, I need some good vibes.

The MHA Spider-verse AU I couldn't stop thinking about featuring grumpy sweatpants All Might trapped in Izuku's dimension
This version of All Might wasn't planning on having a successor so he never met Izuku but now he's stuck in a dimension with a student without his teacher I've thought about this π€
hot artists don't gatekeep
I've been resource gathering for YEARS so now I am going to share my dragons hoard

It shows real people at different weights and heights to give you a better idea of what these abstract numbers all look like. Free to use.
Homie gonna share this
everyone should be weirder about their ocs more.
fake movie posters and comic book covers. visual novels. rpg maker games. fics. websites dedicated to your ocs. custom oc merch to wear or decorate your house with. surreal art that some old guy from the 1600s woulda painted. i want to see it ALL
This is just called "making original media." Nothing is weird about making original art with original characters. That is the norm. What has fandom culture done to you people
