Ironically, I was in an awful art slump while I was working on this video (How fitting that it was during a tutorial video HAHA) so this was supposed to be finished weeks ago, but I was struggling like crazy to be happy with anything I drew. I'm feeling much better now luckily ^^ It happens to all of us, and while I still need to teach myself not to feel guilty when I have a few days off to recollect myself, I'm very grateful that my audience is always reminding me that it's okay to take a little longer if I need to T___T Thank you!!

Ah yes, the 3 phases or Anger:
"Angry"
"Angrier"
"PISSED"

WE NEED MORE OF THIS! This is so helpful!

Me: trying to think of a tip about expressions to comment
Also me: *remembers I only draw the same three expressions*

[chemical-boywhocouldfly]

I love how Emily says "How I draw" instead of "How to draw"

[culprit]

Emirichu: “So they look PISSED”
*animal crossing music plays*

I swear the stoic characters and their emotions just hit me HARD like Giyu Tomioka, in the manga when he smiles it is so rare so when you see him smile it just goes BAM right through the heart!

I can’t be the only artist who makes the facial expression they are drawing unconsciously

I love how Zenitsu is the main example he's such a goof and a mood at the same time 😂

*furiously takes notes* Bless you Emily thank you for this video !
If you do decide to make more videos like this I would absolutely love one on the way you draw eyes I think they're GORGEOUS dude~

[stormnus]

Emirichu: Angry, Angrier,

Me: Mad?-

Emirichu: *P I S S E D*

[bingotay]

“the sweet character who loses their patience”
literally Shinobu tho-

[RuskePerson]

Me, who can't even draw a straight line properly: "Hmm, yes, the eyebrows."

[LaNoir.]

"Bonus points if the hair is swaying" that's why you never break up without a fan nearby

[Perrypool]

Ok, that eyebrow example was shocking, the faces really looked completely different 🦇

[cerealbowl]

Emirichu: "I need a vacation"


Me: "Well who doesn't at this rate?"

[Bunnimation]

I'll never forget the day you complimented me on my character facial expressions Emilyyyy. (Insert Shojo girl crying face). Don't worry, art slump or not, your videos are always a source of inspiration for others even when you're taking breaks for yourself ☺️

Emirichu: How to draw eyes facial expressions

Me: I can't draw eyes

[SukieOnline]

I usually unconsciously make the same expression that I'm drawing
sometimes I force myself to cry when I wanna make a crying expression
Extra but its fun :3

[Leonlion]

When the combination cry face shows, it hits real hard. The power of combining Shounen and Shoujo manga crying face is too powerful.
Also, I actually learn a lot, especially about how artists depict character's personality through different expression for the same emotion/state of mind.
