The return of Sketchy Wednesday!

So, in case you have been living under a rock or something, the other day Tracy Butler at Lackadaisy posted this excellent guide to facial expressions. Now I am sure any of you folks who draw your own comics out there realize how important it is to nail facial expressions, and I am also sure that, like me, many of you would love to improve your abilities in this area. If you do then you would be wise to check out this page. This guide got me wondering about how to improve my own expressions and so I did what any cartoonist would do in this case, I started sketching.


These sketches are the result of that process, some came out pretty well, still others came out awesome and a few I clearly need to work on. What I came away with from this guide, which I don’t get from a lot of other similar guides, is the desire to really practice, and keep tweaking things as I go.

So once again if you are an artist, you should check out this guide, even if you don’t learn anything it is at least amusing.
