I NEED THIS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS TUTORIAL
I often had problems with depicting emotions to the point of writing "how to draw emotion" on nearly every piece of paper I get hold of (except for my school stuff). This should help somehow.

Thank you! I know a guy in my animation class you did anime facial expressions when we were doing a facial expression sheet for our characters. The whole point of the freaking thing was to learn acting with animation!

You're welcome!
And oh gosh ahah that happens, oh well, hopefully he learns the influence of acting on expression then?

The course I did with him was not specifically targeted towards character animation, but it was part of the overall course. We got a few acting lessons, but I think he decided animation wasn't gonna be his thing.I think he's more interested in the more technical side of animation nowadays.
