25 Essential Expressions: Comic Challenge!

[logansrogue]

ARE YOU ISSUING ME A CHALLANGE?! Yes, yes I am issuing you a challenge. MY challenge!

I made this sheet as an exercise for comic artists, cartoonists and illustrators to help keep their character design consistent. It's also pretty handy if you are roughing out a new character for the first time!

Make sure you download the full view and print it through a programme that'll squeeze it in on the paper. It's a hi-res image.

When you've done your 25 expression sketches, put it up in your journal (or dev art) and link back here so I can see it! Also link to me in the post so others can take the challenge!

Cheers,
Nancy.

That's awesome. I'm not a comic artist, illustrator or WHY, but that's awesome.

What does 'why' stand for?

[nephron.livejournal.com]

Oh, WHY = what have you.

I used to work for the Quokka and it was a commonly used abbreviation there. Probably not so much on the internet :P

Usually used in the context of "Gemini 1982, running, lic till Jul, swap for 6' x 4' trailer or WHY."

Ah! I see!

OOoohhhhhhh. Right! I get it now!

I'm doing this...

Very slowly and messily. Because I have little patience and my characters change like my moods.

Which is VERY. VERY. Often. :P

Oh dude, tell me about it. I sat down to do it yesterday and then had this huge "UGH!" moment and decided to write a new tutorial instead. Gah! I am fickle!
