Anonymous asked: Hiyaaa I wanted to ask you, do you have any advice besides "keep practicing" and " look for references" on making your drawings look alive? Cuz mine rn, they look like they're forced to smile or look dead... Thank you for reading CJ!!
THIS is something very hard to explain to be honest. This is like another level of character drawing even I’m still trying to get it right ;v ; (tho some people get it right at first then learns correct proportions after while others go the other way around, it’s a cartoon thing) But a tip that helps me a lot with this is to “act it yourself”—think about the expressions well and feel them, get into the story/scene, etc. For some reason, it will come out when you draw, like don’t be afraid to exaggerate your expressions. Trust me this took me a while to learn and even now, I’m still unsure if my expressions are right, if they match the proportions or if they’re too much over acting.
