Gwen Brigg's Expression Sheets

Thanks for all the feedback on the last pic. Her right leg is no longer stick thin, her coat drapes better, her corset goes past her belt so you can tell the difference between it and her pants, etc.

Here's the next batch: Expression sheets.



Happy and Neutral are my favorites. Neutral I'm immensely proud of. That's a face I'd follow into battle. I was watching the new episode of Chuck while I drew that, so there's a little bit of Kristen Kreuk in there by accident. Surprised kinda makes me laugh. Angry may be a bit too angry, but for the purpose of showing that I can depict a character as being "angry" it works well. Sad was really difficult. Each face took me one to two hours, sad took five. I must have drawn a dozen different heads. When I tried to make it subtle, you couldn't tell, she had to be gritting her teeth and crying a river, but that's not really her character. I previously had what I have now, but with her eyes closed (I actually just drew pupils onto her closed eyelids) and she looked like she had just been sexually assaulted. Adding those pupils really fixed that. It's a bit too demure for her, but like "angry", for the purpose of this project it works.

Again, feedback is encouraged and welcome. This time the focus is on whether the faces, head placement, shoulders, etc. properly show the labeled emotion, and also that all five of the faces look like they belong on the same person. I'm talking more than just "they have the same coat, hair, and goggles". Eyes, nose, mouth, cheekbone and chin, are all five emotions you'd see the same person making, do you get a good sense of her personality just from these five pictures, does Neutral really look like Kristen Kreuk, and so on.

Thanks again.
