Description Follow up to my sadness assignment. This time, choose Joy/Anger/Sadness, and illustrate with only people'n clothes-- no setting.

It's seemingly just semantics, but I think there's a real difference between happiness and joy-- with joy being the harder of the two to really convey. But I ended up selecting something that has been cause for much celebration 'round these parts. That is, being able to step out into warm air'n sunshine for the first time in a long while.


...plus children, because I sorta suspect they think in terms of joy, rather than about the "quest for happiness", like us (slightly) older folk. Perhaps they've had it right all along!

Nice. I wanted to go fishing before I went on spring break, but I had too much to do before XP

Was your spring break last week?

Maybe it's just me, but it seems to me, that these people are falling rather chaotically into some kind of abyss, panicking, so much for the joy...

O___O

Ahaha, it wasn't just you. Some people in crit felt the same way. I really need to spend more time on actual design, so I direct my viewers better...that way there's less panicking-abyss-chaos.
