If you haven't watched Deadpool and wolverine, you're probably not old enough to watch it, that is the only reason why you wouldn't watch it.

Fun tip: it really helps me to study expressions in musicals! Theatre actors have to over emphasize their facial reactions so everyone in the crowd can see them, so theyre really good reference for strong or over the top expressions :)

[@chwrleseyler]

this is actually rlly helpful, thank you sm :)

[@qrbitsart]

Is there anything in particular u struggle with when drawing expressions? Let me kno so I can plan for part 2!

[@efesdead]

the crazy faces the over the top i suck at doing them but there is one problem if i do too much they dont look human anymore i need to balance the emotions and one more thing mixing the emotions i want a video on that too

[@mufin788]

I have a problem with color theory,like okay I understand it but....I can't seem to apply it in my art work.... please make a video about it... because most of the tutorials are like teaching you the color wheel without teaching you how to apply it.... And also how can I apply an expression from real life photos into my own style in art....yeahh btw thank you so much for this video!

[@mistcellaneous]

having a really extreme emotion while still keeping the characters facial features the same, like sometimes i draw a face but it looks like a completely different character because of how elevated the emotion is

[@idobeepuns9680]

I really struggle with the nose and mouth, that sounds so basic but it is what it is 😭😭😭

[@lamiahkashif]

More subtle expressions which are like normal expressions but somehow represent the space between two emotion ykwim?

[@giulipurik]

The fact that she listened to the comments abt mark and Bob is crazy 🙏😭❤

[@angelvash]

You asking mark if it was that serious was so funny to me 😭 This video was extremely helpful easy to understand and you made it fun so my dumb attention span didn't leave 💙

[@notjaydair]

i loved the part where the photoshoot vs genuine expressions were explained IT MADE SO MUCH SENSE???

[@bella_daze3092]

1:24 This is what I learned as an actress! I apply what I learned in acting in my expressions. Acting within itself is reacting! I love this video!!!

[@HamiGirl1]

WOO BOB X MARK the comment about the pinterest expression sheets really explained for me why i struggled to use them sometimes when i practice. finding more natural/situational references will probably be much more helpful 🙏 and the 'photoshoot' with different scenarios was an interesting point to consider! i think this was a helpful video!

[@kris-t4c0mUnch3r]

I loved that you included chapter 3 “interpreting emotions”, because not every character will output the same expression when faced with a certain emotion ( not really talked about in other videos ig )

THEYRE BACK, OMGGGG (no but srsly, that first video about interaction made me so so many videos in your channel, I just enjoy and find very useful the way you humanize your characters and make them feel genuine by making them interact with daily routines and things like that, you gave me a lot of inspiration, tysm!)

[@gloryswift2433]

NO BECAUSE SECTION 2 MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TYSM

[@kofuku2783]

the thing about the posing vs actual expressions u see in rl is so obvious in hindsight but i dont think i would've actually thought of it myself. thank u so much. and the part about the characters expressing emotions differently is so real, that always kind of frustrated me bc i'd draw the basic angry face but it just wouldn't look right bc it didn't fit *them*! you're such a blessing

[@chwrleseyler]

the way im actually obsessed with this trio of silly ocs is not normal lol i rlly love this type of videos and the way you explain is rlly easy to understand (and you also make it fun) :)

[@valbenavento]

fr the last part was the best example, you showed us how to make a character go from just them being there to the whole development of the scene. I study cinema in college and this just put me in a different kind of mindset when it comes to my OCs. Now I want to make them have a little improv session of action and reaction between my babes. Awesome video thank youu

[@ShizukuTheDragoon]

I was searching for this kind of lesson all over, and when i suddenly saw it today in my FYP i almost fell out of my chair. Thank you, this was so helpful 😭

[@mistcellaneous]

1:10 youtube got a bit 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒌𝒚...

[@SprinkledCactus]

The return of Bob and Mark +more great advice?! Hell yeah!

[@GerryIsNear]

The point about drawing as a photoshoot vs a movie is really insightful, and also of what references are appropriate to use for each

[@amaririsu__art]

9:00 At first I was thinking that "oh, so if they're looking at the camera/viewer, then it's a 'photoshoot' type image, and not an 'acting' one." But I think that you can have expressiveness and acting if the character is meant to be interacting with the viewer, like a POV shot. For example, if the character is having an argument with the viewer. Then the character would be looking directly at you, reacting to the hypothetical argument.

[@ariswish]

This has been a very enlightening video, just like the previous one about character interactions Thank you for the bob x mark fan service XD and welcome amanda!

I'll read that!!!💖💖💖💖

[@sundalosketch4769]

This really helps me define and recognize what kinds of facial/expressive references I should look for when studying this kind of thing. I wish younger me knew this sooner so I wouldn't have felt disheartened at attempting a broader range of emotions.

Do you think you could make a video on foreshortening, and how to use it to make a more interesting composition in general rather than something generic and boring? This is something I’ve been struggling with for a while, and trying to find references can be frustrating. I love your “how to” videos, they’ve been incredibly helpful.

[@Jiangshq]

MARK AND BOB LETS GOOO!!! WOOOOOOOO!!!

[@Capetinhozz]

so basically for the angry expressions i read how the "ocs": amanda; shinobu vibes,rarely shows too much negative emotions but she does feel them deeply! mess with her and she'll put you on her dark list bob; extremely outgoing so gives out an kirishima/denki kind of vibes,he's silly most of the time but if he sees you messing up he'll try to correct you,also gives out rengoku vibes but when angry it just flips a switch and he gets completly defensive and expresses his frustation mark; idk which character to refer to him but he's mostly very cold to others,not disrespectful tho, he gives off an "looks like he would banish your soul but once you know him you notice he's a sweetheart but doesn't say it out loud or express it much', he gets angry quietly and most of the time he takes matter to his own hands if needed also the god trio, straight girl, two guys who have a VERY noticeable love tension but are in denial but everyone alredy knows they'll end up together, often the two are a bit awkard infront of amanda bcs she'll mostly tease them a bit about their relationship and bob will be like "stoppp amandaaa ,,`m´,, *blushblush*" and mark is flustered bcs deep down he knows he likes bob but doesn't show it and acts nonchalant abt it buuuutttt amanda CAN read mark very well sorry i got passionate abt it,lowkey good tutorial,learned alot w it!!

we need to give my girl Amanda a gal pal to bounce off of since, bob and mark have each other to bounce off characterization wise!

[@tristanmoran1291]

I struggle so much with acting poses and photoshoot poses but I literally couldn't pinpoint the problem until I heard you refer to it like this! I only draw acting poses because I don't know how to put my characters personality into I cool but unrealistic pose (unrealistic pose as in no one would pose like that in real life naturally)

Syd Field, in his Screenplay: The Foundations of Screenwriting, said, "...Action is character and character, action..." he continues to say, "...the ---character must be active; they must cause things to happen, not let things happen to them. Its okay if they react to incidents or events some of the time, but if they are always reacting, they become passive, and weak..."
