A practice in creating expressing acting through characters. Im learning that body language, including the shape and action of the body, hands, feet, face, etc. are so crucial in creating interest in your drawings and creating something that the reader/viewer can relate to. Here I practiced describing different emotions just with silhouette gestures. I added the list of words I pulled from if you wanted to give it a go yourself:

acceptance, agitation, alarm, amusement, anger, angst, anticipation, apprehension, apathy, awe, bitterness, boredom, calmness, comfort, contentment, confidence, courage, depression, disappointment, discontentment, disgust, desire, delight, deviousness, elation or euphoria, embarrassment, ennui, envy, ecstasy, fear, friendship, frustration, glee, gladness, gratitude, grief, guilt, hate, happiness, homesickness, honor, hope, horror, humility, joy, jealousy, kindness, loneliness, love, lust, modesty, nervousness, negativity, nostalgia, pain, patience, peace, phobia, pity, pride, rage, remorse, sadness, self-pity, shame, shyness, sorrow, shock, suffering, surprise, suspense, terror, unhappiness, vulnerability, worry, wonder
