I read some incredulity and irony into the first face.  In Jasmine, it seems to be a bit more shaded with melancholy.

I think these two figures are in better sync, emotionally.  I would refer to both as ‘despondent’.

There is a necessary project I must do.

I would like to grow and refine my ability to convey precise expressions and feelings through my characters’ faces and bodies.  Somehow, it seems helpful to make it a two-step process: practice the expression on a realistic model, and then adapt it to a graphically designed model.  I selected Princess Jasmine. It seems I created two emotions here: the model on the left seems to be a little concerned about what she’s looking at.  Jasmine, on the other hand, is weary and blase about what she’s seeing.
