Description
This started out as a study drawing facial expressions on a few of my characters.Then I included some body language, as I felt that's also of great importance for visual storytelling.
I added some of my notes and compiled it to one big file so it can perhaps be of use to other people as well.
The file is huge so you might want to hit the download button in order to get the full version.
Characters are Aiden and Sato from my Emion project.

In my opinion, I thing you're exaggerating. If you want to develope a realistic or semirealistic style, ask yourself, Do a Human look like that when is sad, happy, agresive, etc...? Remember in reality we are not that expressive, maybe in some situations, but when the emotions is intense. Most of the time, a thing that often changes then the emotion is not that intense is the look. I suggest you to look on a mirror and do diferent expressions, like you would do it.
But if your propuse was exaggerating expressions I think you do it well ^^
(I hope you understand what I tried to say)

Pretty much all visual mediums work with exaggerated expressions. Be it books, movies, series... or anything.
It's all enhanced for the sake of making more impact.

Yes, you're right, but most of them work with a cartoony style or a bit of realistic propotions with cartoony expressions. It was just and observation, judging for the point of view of your style, that apparently look serious.

Well, it's even done in (realistic) movies of series. People rarely react irl as they do in them. We're just so used to that kind of portrayal of emotions in media that we hardly register them as exaggerated anymore.

Touché. Well, It was just an opinion. For me was a bit unatural see that kind of expressions in your style, Anyways, It was a constructive critism. After all you can take it or not

Nah... I'm trying to get rid of the whole neutral-ish expression thing in my art a bit. It needs to be a bit more expressional imo.

Waahh very helpful~
It's interesting that you used body gestures ,too ( not just facial expression) Those extra gestures show more their personalities ^^
btw Sato can be happy?? I thought he more like emo guy XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I started out doing facial expression at first, but it felt really incomplete so I ended up doing body language as well.
And yes, Sato can be happy.
Despite his emo-ish appearance and him usually being all serious and shit, he's a quite convincing manipulative bastard that has no problem tricking people into thinking he's all nice and innocent ^^
