Artist's Comments

lol I started this and then *m-t-copyright beat me to it....at least for the first page. :iconsave-the-day: is doing an expression challenge where you draw 55 different expressions with one of your characters. I think for mine I'm going to change my character for each page because I wanted to practice drawing other characters. For the first one of course I had to do Caden. As you can see from MT's, it's the same expressions. I think this is really fun to do and deffinitely good practice to express an emotion with face and body language. I know most of these are bust shots but I tried using the shoulders to help portray the feeling as well. I think more people should do this. The next one I'm going to do is my cat boy character Rhys....but I realize that he probably looks like Jak. XD lol Oh well. We'll wait and see. Might scrap this later on.

This is really good! I really like the style you have here, an interesting character.


You did completely wonderful with some of the expressions (my personal favorites: Sarcastic, Pouty, and Boastful). Some of them seem a bit off though:
--The "Surprised" and "Shocked" seem really similar, especially because they are right next to each other. "Shocked" seems pretty on-the-dot, but the surprised could be tweeked in some way I think.
--"Calm" seems kind of moody actually. I guess, personally, I'd expect a bit more of a relaxed or even slightly pleased expression. It's you're interpretations though! :)
--And "Confused" looks kinda like they're annoyed. I think it's normally depicted with a tilted head and closed/pursed (I think that's the right term) lips. But again, your own interpretation. :D


:aww: I'll be quiet now, hope you don't take what I said too hard, just my opinions. :)

I like commenting and faving. It's how I roll.
:iconmallenroh001:
"bored" looks more day dreamy than bored and "tired" looks bored. . . for bored, keep the same expression but tilt the head up so she's looking at you sideways, maybe put her hand against her face, that's a pretty typical bored/your wasting my time expression and for tired, try a "just woke up" expression, like w/eyes half closed and darker shading under the eyes and messy hair. . . that'll be more indicative of tiredness than a yawn b/c people yawn all the time, even when they're not tired

No thank you! I completely understand what you mean. Again I need practice because with most of the pictures I draw, it's always the basic emotions or expressions, always happy and all that jazz. That's why I wanted to do this, to get practice. Thank you again for your input though! I'm actually surprised and happy because you maybe on of the first people to actually give me some form of constructive criticism on my work. I rarely get that. *sweatdrop* :hug:

Thanks. Again it's all practice but I do appreaciate your comment. ^_^ Maybe next time I'll try some of your suggestions. I did find that one a little hard to do, drawing someone looking bored. I should have added the hand. >_>; lol Though I thought the tired one was pretty good. I did try to add bags under her eyes but I guess it was hard to see.
