To Comic Creators and Readers: What's your favorite facial expression?

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I love doing expressions of grim determination, especially on Rip here.

Also that "crap's about to get real" face where it's all darkened and only one eye glows.

But my absolute favorite is this face that is Dawn's resting "cute as a button" face.

But as for my favorite to see. I love Oda's mastery of Luffy's determined calm smile.

I dunno, I just like drawing different expressions. So I don't have just one expression that I favor.

For reading: I like the crazy expressions

@nathanKmcwilliams that grim determination is such an eye catching piece! I love it. His intense expression is so powerful. And the "crap's about to get real face" is always a treat, makes me excited when I know that an intense battle is about to go down. When I see those kinds of faces I think, "Dang, you don't know what you've just done" to the character who's the catalyst.
@TheGreatArtisan perfectly valid answer, anyone can answer with "all the expressions" or even "none of the expressions." It's a very open question. I don't mind people answering with an answer that may go outside of the parameters, perfectly fine ^^ It's always fun to draw all kinds of expressions. I love the second image of your expressions, the angry one xD And crazy expressions are interesting and fun to draw and witness xD

[Pommie]

sultry eyes, smiles, big smiles, big mouths, a lot of things that revolve around smiling if anything lol

[Bree_Mana]

In general i love the sort of deadpan looks thats how some one is "done" with a situation so to speak but there 2 personal favorites that I've drawn for TLC

This one is simply titled PANIC

And this one is braiden question whats wrong with his siblings

I guess wide eyed type expressions are my favorite to draw as well lol
If those expressions catch your eye why not check out TLC?

Expressions are honestly my favorite part of drawing. It can be a lot of fun to make them super exaggerated, and play with body language as well. (Expressiveness also plays a sizeable role in deciding whether or not I like a comic.)

I think my favorites to draw are surprise and distress, like these:

//^This one is of course from a currently unfinished page

Also this vaugely creepy expression from an unfinished sketch:

[Bree_Mana]

I like the vaguely creepy one lol

[thel3tterm]

Thank you so much hahaha. I'm hoping I can use that at some point.

[Legendofgenii]

Pretty much Gen's only expression.

[thel3tterm]

He's just in a constant state of "ugh" hahahaha

[Legendofgenii]

Haha! I have to make sure I get at least one "Ugh!" in there per episode.

[nathanKmcwilliams]

I do a lot of scenes with eye glowing effects. I probably over use it XD

Another favorite is silent yet pure rage

I also really like doing 'angry' smile faces

I just like drawing expressions, but I like to make them as dynamic and grandiose as possible.

[Legendofgenii]

And the back of people's heads a lot! Haha!

[Kylano]

I like seeing when people are sincerely hurt. The expressions they make are so pure and rich.

[Legendofgenii]

Ooooh! Yeah That's a good one! They eyeballs look ready to pop out usually too.

For me, it's definitely the super exaggerated ones. I love facial expressions pushed to their extremes—the more ridiculous, the better.

[Schwarze_Neko]

Idk but I like making this little smile It's very innocent so I like to use it on my character Liz ^^

I'll leave my comic down here in case you want to check it out ^^

[Legendofgenii]
