How do you get such expression and life into your characters? I've been trying to do it but I can't get the hang of it
Here are some posts I did on expressions: (x) (x) (x) I hope you find them useful! To be fair, it’s much easier to experiment with characters you’re already familiar with and pretty comfortable drawing.
The easiest way is to take pics of yourself and study your features. Don’t be afraid to emote a lot or make silly faces!Here are some quick Buttons’ I did just now, referencing photos of myself. If I had to draw these emotions from memory, they would look much more boring and cliche. Still recognizable, hopefully, but less personal. (This would probably be more interesting if I had my photos attached but I’m a tired grease monster atm so naaah.)
