Expressive Style

Expressive Style

Project Goal:

1. Draw yourself at the height of emotion, full body pencil only (for now)

2. Example emotions can be: fear, surprise, happiness.

3. Once you have drawn yourself, draw it again and push your reaction.
4. Turn in your drawing to the discussion board for feedback, once I have given you feedback, you may need to make changes in not, you will be able to go 
onto the inking and coloring.
4. Below is an example of myself changing from a regular cartoon to extremely expressive one. You will need to practice this a couple of times in order to achieve a wild enough expression yet still look like you. 

Here are some poses 

you may want to try

Of course the best pose will be the one you make 
as long as it is expressing emotion.

Down below is a collection
