Description
Download for full size!!!!!!!Look! Kilala finally did a tutorial! I planned to do a "How to Draw Ponies" tutorial, but there are so many of those. So, since you guys think that I'm pretty good at portraying emotions, I stuck to that. That being said, these tips will prolly only help you if you know how to draw ponies already XP (let me know if you can't read any of this)
**********************************
General Emotions
When doing these, pay attention to the ears, neck and shoulders.
________________________
Head Angles
Head angles (along with the head placement) are very important. My favorite one is the one looking up and tilting slightly. I tend to use this one a lot when dealing with arrogant characters like Prism, Nidra or Hot Head. Why? Because it makes them look condescending and above others. If you watch anime, you'll notice that a lot of the the "badass" or "evil villain" or even just cocky characters will do this when monologuing.
Examples:

________________________
Eyes, Eyebrows, Eyelids
Eyes
- I strongly believe eyes are the most expressive features on the face. If you're trying to make a face, you're eyes could easily betray you.
- When doing eyes pay attention to the size of the eyes themselves, the irises and the pupils
- Big eyes, big irises and big pupils= Happiness, concern, sadness,
- Big eyes, big irises and small pupils= Happiness/surprise
- Big eyes, small irises and small pupils= Scared, pshyco, traumatized
Eyebrows
- Almost as expressive as the eyes
- I don't think they need further explanation
Eyelids
- Important for making characters look tired, unamused, calm, etc.

How to Better Understand Emotions
- GET. A. MIRROR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- Really think about different scenarios and what you might do/how you might react in those situations
- Feel how your body reacts when make certain faces. (Do your shoulders drop? Do you pull your head back? Does your mouth open? What do your eyebrows do?)

that these can be used on males, seeing I have harder times doing male expressions my main reason is the shape of their faces

Oddly enough, sometimes I unintentionally portray the emtions while drawing. It has happened quite a lot, I remember drawing an annoyed pony and having a face to go with it ><
