[@rottingpumpkiin7151]

eckh_art I dont have an art class at my school, so technically LavenderTowne is my teacher :3 she inspires me!

[@kippers1]

Also to note, if a character is crying some people scrunch up their shoulders or try to look as small as possible. If you get the face down definitely work on body language or learn how to read it.

[@thingsnstuff7526]

Depends how/ why they’re crying. But I do that scrunching thing so yeah haha.

[@oingaboinga1251]

Thanks for the advice! I’ll be sure to practice the body langauge more-

[@Jack-zb2ls]

I always do that, I don't know why

[@azureaqua_1177]

That or you can do other things! Like..use their arm to cover their face as if they don’t want to be seen crying

[@mmm-ei3yi]

AzurexAqua _ Or they’re trying to dry the tears

[@siedlak2090]

My friend is usually laughing at me when I'm drawing facial expressions. That's because I always make face similar to a character I'm drawing. So when in class I look like I'm about to cry, she is sometimes worry because she thinks something might have happened. But she just looks that I'm doodling and she's like ,,ah ok she's just drawing again"

[@Jack-zb2ls]

[@matchascloset8935]

[@Angweenie]

Another tip for anger: when you’re drawing the eyebrows, to fully express the focus and the rage in how a character’s feeling, try to keep the eyebrows as close and low to the eyes as you can. The higher the eyebrows on the forehead, the more surprised or confused they appear.

I've been reading your comic: 'Unfamiliar', and I absolutely love your story telling and art style! All your characters are absolutely adorable and creatively constructed, and I'm really invested in them! The story is truly masterfully expressed throughout your frames. I can't wait to explore more of your work!

[@phoebe9305]

maybe do a video on what clothes to put your characters in, or their general design to show their personality? (your videos are really helpful, they help me progress loads with my art!)

[@Osokooma]

Moonlightshining I think she already has a video on that

[@phoebe9305]

oops...i did see that, but I thought that there could be something focusing in more detail on clothes and hair rather than basic body shapes and clothing shapes like the other video...if that makes sense

[@BLUBBLUBBLUBBER]

I'm not sure what video you guys are talking about buttttt there is the character design one where she goes over clothing and how to make it look nice. But meh. Even so, it would definitely be chill to get a new vid based solely on hair and clothing styles.

[@blondbraid7986]

Yes, especially since I've seen so much art where even if the anatomy is OK, the artist put the characters in "clothes" that were just a random mess made of belts, or garish color combinations and so forth. Plus with fantasy settings, I've seen many artists fail to take the culture and technology of the setting into consideration, and we get things like characters with steampunk goggles on top of medieval armor and so on, there's plenty of material for a video on that subject.

I've been waiting for a do this not that facial expressions! I always struggle with those.

[@astronaugh_t]

Oh! One thing I think you might've missed! To make the emotion even more intense and understandable, try changing the cheek and chin shape/placement. When the corners of the mouth are turned up, the cheeks tend to stick out a little more and the chin is shorter. When the corners of the mouth are turned down, the cheeks stick out less and the chin is longer. This tip is also very important to know when doing lip syncing animations! Not only does it make the letters/syllables clearer, but it can also make the words flow better and show a deeper emotion ^^ Thank you so much for all of the tutorials, btw!! They've really helped me out a lot 💕💕 Keep being amazing and have a great day/night!!

[@PampdArt]

The left happy drawing looks either like she's about to kill someone or she's dead inside. :') Thank you for this tutorial, definitely learnt a thing or two also not being afraid to move the nose around helps a lot with expressions aswell !!!

[@Justinsgamez]

The happy one seems almost uncomfortable in my opinion.

[@kyleag86]

Justin Leski looking back at it it kind of does

[@lemontree4497]

Yea I thought he looks embarassed

[@thedarkoverlordofall]

He looks like he’s abt to cry

[@memereview9803]

they look like they're scared or about to cry and trying to hide it. this is because the eyebrows are upturned near the nose.

[@beththedarkmage3359]

May I suggest for your next video drawing protagonists as villains, and maybe vice versa? It could be from Disney, anime, your favourite cartoons...anything!

[@viktorijatrajkovasavevska5965]

K o k i c h i ?

[@lydias376]

Cool idea

[@caz7906]

Please make more of these emotion videos! This really helped me out and I need some more info on the other emotions. I find it very easier with the way you explain it.

[@odditynix]

I just started watching your channel, holy wow am I an addict now. I absolutely love your style, and your advice is solid. Watching these really makes me want to dive back into drawing full throtle.

[@mars2698]

It's so hard to show emotion in my style because of the eyes but I might change that up a little bit soon to make it easier. Anyways, the tutorial was really helpful and I love your style sooo much!

[@mars2698]

I draw my eyes in pretty much the most simple way ever. Link to my deviantart if you wanna see what I mean: imfruitloops.deviantart.com/

[@aroacetartaglia]

Can you do how to draw hair? ^^

[@firesparkling9370]

Another tip is to have a mirror/iPhone (with the camera on) near by so when you're drawing, you can get the facial expressions down better.

[@17thstellation]

Something I noticed is that it seems to help when drawing expressions if you're specific about what emotion you're trying to portray. For example, for anger, the "do" drawing looks specifically offended or disgusted, like someone just said something shocking and horrible. And that's different from how one would draw spite, hatred, wrath, exasperation, indignation, etc. And each of those words makes me imagine a specific expression that carries so much more power than if I just try to picture an "angry" face.

[@tonimel-cao1848]

Thank you for these pointers. Emotion is an unknown subject to me.

[@gamzee3610]

Lavendertowne: a happy face, which will come up a lot when you have happy characters (or something along those lines) My angst-filled self: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA happy characters, what's that? never heard of her.

[@sebastianmichaelisbutinmsp6490]

Calvin Pope same fam- all my characters are edgy gay bois

[@gamzee3610]

[@omenalaakso]

“Think about how you would feel when you’re sad” Me: *remembers the few times I have been in enough emotional pain to cry over it* Me: Me: Me: *feels me heart shatter and die inside of me*

[@Sniper_4_Life]

"Think about how you would feel when you're sad" Me who has autism and doesn't feel any emotions at all: "Well, how am *I* supposed to know that ?"

[@curiousstar1196]

With some of these, it ok to do the "dont''s" when practicing I do them alot when im drawing random sketches and doodles. Also, depending on style, the "do's" are the "dont's"

[@babysprinklesandangel9275]

People hate you because they think that ur judging the art but ur actually teaching them how to do it better

[@FruityPeachie]

congrats on making 100 videos!!!! can't wait to see the next 100

[@malcyybinx]

JennyArts (sorry I've been looking at who you've subbed to) YOU LIKE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!

[@FruityPeachie]

**Dog Star** Oh! Haven’t listened to them in a while actually, but yeee

[@malcyybinx]

JennyArts ye and sorry to look at your channel subs randomly

[@FruityPeachie]

**Dog Star** no problem my dude, I do some weird stuff myself too sometimes so I’m in no place to judge

[@monkeychief1904]

I LOVE this series so much! Also Congrats on 100 videos!

[@heathbar6096]

Have you ever thought of redesigning Creepy pasta characters or making them cute?

[@avocadosushiislit2955]

She done that

[@SAW-wn5tv]

Jenny Doodles No she did that with 'horror' characters. Not creepypastas.

[@avocadosushiislit2955]

Lime Fruit oh yeah my bad

[@Kara-kq5sb]

There's no fixing the rake

[@scaredstiff7176]

+Galaxy InABox True.

[@Kam-w1u]

Honestly, you are one of a few artists I bring a higher liking to. Why? Well because of your style. I have more of a cartoon style rather than a relistic style and your art makes me feel like even I, can get better at art! Thank you!

[@tirieh2394]

Oh my goodness. Most of the time, I watch tutorials but can never draw as the person taught, or I just lose focus... But your tutorials (especially this, the poses, and the clothing ones) have helped me a LOT! I'm more of a visual learner, so watching you draw WHILE explaining everything (and the fact that your voice is a great relaxing but not so relaxing you'd stop paying attention type of voice) really helped me. My digital art improved immediately after watching these, aaand I got introduced to your webcomic so double plus. Thank you so much ;D

[@mac5734]

Thank you so much!! I really needed this!☆ I was doodling some characters a while ago and the expressions I drew looked really uninteresting and bland ;v;

[@LittleRainstorm]

"Copying exactly the neutral face and changing just the mouth" *changes the eyes*

[@valeria-hu8jv]

Okay but the little character you drew is so frickin cute when he was crying I genuinely wanted to hug him

[@rosiestrwbrry]

Your videos are SO HELPFUL! Like you don’t understand! You do a really good job at explaining things and not sounding to too complicated. Your art style is ADORABLE! I absolutely love you and your art!! Your KZbin channel over all is AMAZING/FANTASTIC!❤️
