My friend is usually laughing at me when I'm drawing facial expressions. That's because I always make face similar to a character I'm drawing. So when in class I look like I'm about to cry, she is sometimes worry because she thinks something might have happened. But she just looks that I'm doodling and she's like ,,ah ok she's just drawing again"
Same XD it's kinda funny
I do this too :/
oml i do this too, hope i don’t look too strange
SAMEE
But guys I make sounds when I am drawing. Like I am drawing a cat in class and i am meowing, sometimes without even realising it
Also to note, if a character is crying some people scrunch up their shoulders or try to look as small as possible. If you get the face down definitely work on body language or learn how to read it.
Depends how/ why they’re crying. But I do that scrunching thing so yeah haha.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll be sure to practice the body langauge more-
I always do that, I don't know why
That or you can do other things! Like..use their arm to cover their face as if they don’t want to be seen crying
AzurexAqua _
Or they’re trying to dry the tears
when trying to draw very shocked emotions, i always look up 'shocked animal faces' as reference but i end up starting to laugh
instead of drawing
xD lol same
Natsuuno lol
SHOOOK
I usually end up pulling the expression that I'm trying to draw. xD
*claps*
Another tip for anger: when you’re drawing the eyebrows, to fully express the focus and the rage in how a character’s feeling, try to keep the eyebrows as close and low to the eyes as you can. The higher the eyebrows on the forehead, the more surprised or confused they appear.
The don't side looks likes those anime moments when they think they finally won at sonething, but then it turns out to be a mistake.
•▿•
you have literally taught me more than my art teacher has
So true
yeah no wonder my actual art teacher is like "where did you learn this? I never taught you this?!"
yeah I am still the best one in my art class 😅
eckh_art Lucky, my school doesn’t even have an art teacher
My art teacher does not even teach he only mentions shading but never teached it to the class and grades based on how finished the work is its almost like if he wasn't a teacher but i have learned a lot from this channel
eckh_art I dont have an art class at my school, so technically LavenderTowne is my teacher :3 she inspires me!
9:45 the left image
My face when I accidentally delete the lineart instead of the sketch and I can't undo it
Doopie_215 YT SaMe, especially when I draw really good line art or do the lineart on the sketch layer and then I have to delete it.
You were ahead of your time.
can't relate because i don't have a sketch layer, lol
Same. I deleted a drawing that I did for my videos. I was so angry after.😔
Same same same
(Cringe alert maybe)
This also happens on FlipAClip...
"Their hair kinda puffs up like a hedgehog"
*gotta go fast*
sleepyartist_57 XD
it's perfect. her hair us blue omg-
Reminds me of ✨gOoOOn✨
SEGGGGGAAAAAA
Omg the crying face (the do side) actually wanted to make me cry. It’s so full of emotion.
Okay good thing I’m not the only haha
Poor Simon the smol :(
Sophie The loof no it’s Borky Bork the Smol
@@aajkdndkdnekwn wrong. It has been the name has been chosen. *There is no going back.*
That’s how you know it’s good, when we can relate to it. If it starts to make you feel bad for the character.
10:14
Left : *-dead inside-* I MEAN HAPPY
Right: *_oH mY gOd ItS a RaInBoW_*

Right side: me when I do a good drawing that I actually like
Left side: me when I'm almost done but my computer dies and dosen't save it...
*unholy screeching*
*sO tRuE*
she be on dem druuuuuuuu--
Dead inside just like me!
@@owenicantchangemyemail7448 you mean happy?
Can we talk about how adorable this boy she's drawing is?
Matthew Ryan most of her art is utterly adorable
Or girl,the silhouette seems kinda feminine
ThaliaFox Nah, he's definitely a boy
Yesss, omg, he's so dang cute!
I thought it was a woman-
When she drew sadness, I honestly felt bad for the right character
Me too-
I just wanna hug them by AGH
oh my god me too.... artists are too powerful
I immediately put my favourite characters in that place. Someone please help me because I can't trust anyone to not hurt my children. PLEASE STOP HURTING MY FAV CHARACTERS. AAAAAAA
Same.
So people laughing slowly?
Thinks of the sloths from zootopia
Novani Neoq IKR
tf i just saw zootopia omg
Handshakes. Die uhh Grubb c. Chugged down dcbd
Yes
HA
HA
HA
HA H A A
Tip: listen to different types of music while drawing, it can affect how you draw.
So thaaatss why I can't stop drawing korean girls (I'm kidding, but usually depending on the blackpink song I'm listening to my mood is different, and I draw my characters in different mood)
Omg yesss! It’s so fun, too!
Supernova Spirit
Only bp? Wth
@@mmm-ei3yi not inly blackpink it was a joke cuz i do listen to a lot of bp but not only
Supernova Spirit
Yeah ik, but, like, it”s bad to mostly listen to the same thing bc it can get boring
imagining the dont side of anger saying "they threw me a surprise party, BUT I HATE SURPRISE PARTYS!!" really cracked me up :'D great video!
I just realised I was subconsciously copying the facial expressions she drew XD
Holly Weston
Same XD
Lol same here
lol
Holly Weston SAME!!
I do that every time I draw expressions lmao
10:00
Left = Robot trying to emulate emotions
Right = Praise Jesus!
You are literally everywhere
Hallelujah!
You are everywhere.. Wanna be friends? You obviously have great taste in videos
I swear to god you're *e v e r y w h e r e*
SylenDraws dude why do I see you in the comments of every video I watch omfg
Who is this boy? He must be protected!
Borky Bork (something) the smol
Borky Bork okay the. Simon the smol
Kim Seokjin I wanna see more of Simon the Smol. I like how he’s drawn.
Heroic Toast Simon the smol is an icon
Miluna PROTECC
Me: *drawing an evil expression*
Me: *making the same face expression without knowing*
Friend: dude, are you ok?
Oof I have a habit of doing that. Whenever I'm drawing I tend to copy the expression of whatever I'm drawing.
sAmE
I do this but Ik what I’m doing and I do it for a second and then stop as quick as I can lol
If that happens it's just because you are really concentrated, it's a good sign tho!
sameeeee! if im drawing a character thats laughing hysterically i end up smiling for no reason!
this is how i scare away my friends :D
8:16 - when someone bumps into your desk while you're pressing hard/lining your sketch with ink
@GGR Makes OMGG YEESSS thats a painnn
How do I save a comment?
idk when I draw extreme emotions my face is trying to do the same
Pinkamena Polska Same!
Pinkamena Polska same.
Same!
Pinkamena Polska same!!
Same! especially with happy, I like to stay positive!
no offense your first smile is looking worried a bit. like when your troll friend makes a genuine riddle and you laugh like "oh uh heh heh that is funny heh" like in your mind you're like "uh Travis are you ok?" "are u sick tho"
yeah, he looks a bit uncomfortable
Yeah I'm glad I'm not the only person who thought that.
same
He looks like he’s abt to cry
Reminded me of how I thought of Sayori looking the last time you talk to her before she... if you’ve played ddlc then you know, if you don’t I won’t spoil it. Still a great drawing though, and I’m no better at drawing emotions 😅
Ive always been best at drawing characters crying... -cause I cry so much-
Toe to Tip That's a Bart big mood
Cheer up ☺️
That's a good Thing! Sadness is a hard emotion to capture accurately
Well, good job and all, but are you okay?
Toe to Tip That's a Bart same
the "don't neural" one looks so dumb and sweet and I love him
*draws tear on "robot"*
It is now confirmed... She is very dead inside.
Where?
@@seineevee i think at 4:28- i dunno, this comment's older than my soul lol
C Y B E R M E N
Could you do a "do this not that on" body types?
Good idea, though it may be hard considering how many body types there are. (:
AutumnFire 02 good point, maybe the differences between feminine and masculine in both genders?
Acetrash Yeah, that would be a nice one!
Good idea! Many beginners often over-accentuate the hourglass body type with women, and make men's shoulders/muscles to large/wide.
yesss i can draw girls of all body types but for boys i can only draw feminine boys oof i would love that vid
Haha at the end, the happy face to the left looks almost like a sarcastic smile
Kinda just “Thanks!!! I hate it!!!” While the one to the right shows more actual happiness/gratitude
3D_Tetra an avacado.....thankssss..... (baby meme)
3D_Tetra the eyes are a little too stretched
This is something I really want to work on, so I found this very helpful!
JelArts woah! Hi jelarts! Its weird nobody liked this or replied lol

The Diamond Buttons when did I say deaf
I was talking about Death the Kid from Soul Eater
OMG SHHASJGAA IG SHH GO IS
Cannon
I just realized,
Everytime I (or anyone else) draw extreme expressions, I make that expression too.
..and now it feels awkward to doodle intense stuff in public. :']
i actually do the same thing???
Rotten xEgg SAME
I do that too, and it's the funniest thing when I'm just...having a very intense disgusted/angry/"what the actual FUCK" kind of expression on my face as I sit and doodle in the most relaxed way possible.
YES I do this all the time lol
I do the same thing!
I've been watching your videos for some time now and I've noticed that a lot of your line work has gotten smoother and I just wanna say how amazing it is that even while you're such an amazing artist, you're still improving your work. I'm proud of you!!
Alex Ries thank you so much!!! 😭💕
LavenderTowne she's right
LavenderTowne Seeing the cleaner line art over time is what convinced me to subscribe. Keep up the good work! :D
Maybe for a future video you could do the do's & don'ts of hands? (just a suggestion you probably wont see this)))
TheAwkwardFox22
*YES*
Definitely
I don't really think she's the right person to ask. I mean, she does know how to draw hands, but her hands are basically three squiggles and a curved line.
TheAwkwardFox22 PLEASE!
very responsible friend Even if she draws her hands that way usually, I'm sure she isn't limited to just that. She could be good at other styles and just choose to do more cartoony things.
Whenever I draw facial expressions, I find myself *doing* the expressions, so I can get a feel of what the face is doing, and where features are placed. (I do it when I drawing in class sometimes, and I get some weird looks lol)
I do the same, I reccomend a face mask or just hiding your mouth in general will make it look more "normal"
Hailey when drawing the angry people: Maybe someone threw them a surprise party and they hate surprise parties...
Me: *Thinks back to the first episode of MLP Friendship is Magic when Pinkie Pie threw a party for twighlight*
Lmao
At 8:35 the don't side look like a robot. Like, oil imagine she's saying, something like, "Hello human, how was your day?🤖"
Monica Creator M-monika is that you?!
*Just Monika*
Bro, I almost thought she was Monika from doki doki
Shes dead inside.
Hello friend Arin
I always wait until the end of the episode so she says: 'Leblehblehbleh'
It makes me so happy xD
Leblehblehbleh is such a strange username!
But its amazing bc she says it at the end of each episode xD
yesss! and you can always hear her smiling while saying it!!!
Me too x3
Waffle Cat same
leblehblehbleh
I love these "draw this, not that" videos of yours. When I watch them, I either learn something about how to improve my drawings, or get confirmation that I'm doing the right thing when I draw. Or both.
6:51 the “wrong” image looks like me after spicy tacos
Doggie Eilish xO THIS MADE ME W H E E Z E
Oop-
the "do" side looks like me after reading this comment because of its trueness
Oh god
Yes
LMAOOOO
One good thing to remember in drawing emotions, is that we rarely feel just ONE emotion. It could be anger with a touch of disgust, or sadness with a touch of embarrassment.
3:28
Right side is Me trying to smile for yearbook picture
*Katsuki Batsugo is best anger example*
"I pledge... That I'll be first"
*looks at thumbnail*
*2009 flashbacks*
lol
Actualy, the first expresion on the left is actualy me when i am sitting alone and there’s alot of people and i have nothing to do. I just stare.
Or i also look like that when i am listening to someone who is in front of me.
So when you just stare you also put in the effort to slightly lift the corners of your mouth?
Idk but for me the corners of my mouth usually would still droop down a little and if I were to lift it to make the mouth look straight it would've been pretty tiring to do
Whenever I sketch I always listen to Lavender Towne because her voice is almost soothing to the ear it really helps me and improves my drawing so thanks LavenderTowne
This video reminds me of how I always catch myself making the facial expression I'm trying to draw lmao
Anyone else do that?
Gloomy Fish *Intense scowling during class as I draw*
Yup
Yeah I can relate lmao
And then I wonder what others think of me #artiststruggles
YEA! MY MOM THINKS IM CRAZY BECAUSE IM LIKE (-_, ')
OMG I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE!
Always
Interesting! I hadn't thought about facial expressions! I think that the sad face was the most helpful.
Eileen Vilaca I agree!
Eileen Vilaca congrats, you where the 1st comment XD
I need this, I am horrible facial expressions.
Mar ine Well you're lucky, im just horrible period.
Same
Marii
hi horrible facial expressions ! Im pink chan!
Marii Now you're learning them from video
Marii same
LavenderTowne: "the crying part is one of the most difficult"
Me and my friends: *always draws a sad charecter*
Also me: no wonder why thats the only thing i was good at-
You should do torso and shoulders drawings for do this not that. I really struggle with those body parts :P
Skitty Kitty yes pls
Golden Lightning Anims you struggle too?
Skitty Kitty lol yeah big time (specifically with legs,hands and sometimes the feet)
am i the only one who when drawing an expression on a character, i do the expression too? and like my face ends up hurting and don't even notice i'm doing it
I do it too, don't worry.
Same, dude. I always end up having people staring at me when I draw emotional stuff in public.
You just keep drawing with that facial expression and you just start asking "Why in the world am I having such pain?"
The Most Person Of PersonPersons I do it to :'D
Omg I do this too. One time my friend asked me if something happend because I was doing a super excited expression in the middle of art class.
what an *emotional* 100th video-
hehe
I've been reading your comic: 'Unfamiliar', and I absolutely love your story telling and art style! All your characters are absolutely adorable and creatively constructed, and I'm really invested in them! The story is truly masterfully expressed throughout your frames. I can't wait to explore more of your work!
9:49 (left) the face your best friend makes when your crush is behind you
"Copying exactly the neutral face and changing just the mouth"
*changes the eyes*
maybe do a video on what clothes to put your characters in, or their general design to show their personality?
(your videos are really helpful, they help me progress loads with my art!)
Moonlightshining I think she already has a video on that
oops...i did see that, but I thought that there could be something focusing in more detail on clothes and hair rather than basic body shapes and clothing shapes like the other video...if that makes sense
I'm not sure what video you guys are talking about buttttt there is the character design one where she goes over clothing and how to make it look nice. But meh. Even so, it would definitely be chill to get a new vid based solely on hair and clothing styles.
Yes, especially since I've seen so much art where even if the anatomy is OK, the artist put the characters in "clothes" that were just a random mess made of belts, or garish color combinations and so forth. Plus with fantasy settings, I've seen many artists fail to take the culture and technology of the setting into consideration, and we get things like characters with steampunk goggles on top of medieval armor and so on, there's plenty of material for a video on that subject.
That would be super extremely helpful im making an animated series and am having a lot of trouble with the characters' clothes
what are happy OCs anymore
-drawing my OCs screaming crying is a favorite activity-
I have so much trouble with unique looking faces, and have been working on curing my same face syndrome. This helped so so much, thank you Lavender, you’re awesome!!
Same
These tips are very straight forward and informational. I subscribed!
“Think about how you would feel when you’re sad”
Me: *remembers the few times I have been in enough emotional pain to cry over it*
Me:
Me:
Me: *feels me heart shatter and die inside of me*
"Think about how you would feel when you're sad"
Me who has autism and doesn't feel any emotions at all: "Well, how am *I* supposed to know that ?"
Could you perhaps do a video on foreshortening with cartoon styles. I just find it so difficult to have it look right while still being more simplified.
FluteGeek This needs more likes.
I thought I was th only one with that problem! I hope she makes a video on this!
FluteGeek that screwed up with me for so long...
get this to the top comment
Lavendertowne: a happy face, which will come up a lot when you have happy characters (or something along those lines)
My angst-filled self: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA happy characters, what's that? never heard of her.
Calvin Pope same fam- all my characters are edgy gay bois
All mine are gay too, what am I, your art doppelganger?
Calvin Pope I relate far too much to this
we’re all twins
+Sebastian Michaelis but in ms paint
That’s a huge mood
Lavender, please try to do a small sketchbook tour!! ;3;
mckinleydraws that would be so fun!
Yes, that would be wonderful!
Whenever my face I totally relaxed I either look deep in thought, or highly annoyed, im often asked if im ok lol
ideas:
fur
trees(bark, leaves)
food
textures
water
clothing designs
It's so hard to show emotion in my style because of the eyes but I might change that up a little bit soon to make it easier. Anyways, the tutorial was really helpful and I love your style sooo much!
I draw my eyes in pretty much the most simple way ever. Link to my deviantart if you wanna see what I mean: imfruitloops.deviantart.com/
The happy one seems almost uncomfortable in my opinion.
Justin Leski looking back at it it kind of does
Yea I thought he looks embarassed
He looks like he’s abt to cry
they look like they're scared or about to cry and trying to hide it. this is because the eyebrows are upturned near the nose.
Have you ever thought of redesigning Creepy pasta characters or making them cute?
She done that
Jenny Doodles
No she did that with 'horror' characters. Not creepypastas.
Lime Fruit oh yeah my bad
There's no fixing the rake
+Galaxy InABox True.
Those faces are me when i have a period
*It's that time of the month*
Well shi-
With some of these, it ok to do the "dont''s" when practicing I do them alot when im drawing random sketches and doodles. Also, depending on style, the "do's" are the "dont's"
May I suggest for your next video drawing protagonists as villains, and maybe vice versa? It could be from Disney, anime, your favourite cartoons...anything!
K o k i c h i ?
Cool idea
I N T E R E S T I N G
I’ve seen this video in my recommendations for 10 minutes thinking “oh that’s an old video”. I literally just realized that I could have been so early but no, I thought it was an old video ;-;
anyways I needed this video, I suck at expressions
10:16 she stares into my soul and into the void of darkness beneath, she has seen all the horrors of the universe, she is oppressed by the eternal march of time
10:00 (Left) When I confidentially yell out the wrong answer in class
I wonder if Hayle plays ddlc because she said she likes visual novels
don't do that to the smol
Sarcastic Ferret I mean I think she mentioned liking horror too sooo
She actually did play it i think
The left happy drawing looks either like she's about to kill someone or she's dead inside. :')
Thank you for this tutorial, definitely learnt a thing or two also not being afraid to move the nose around helps a lot with expressions aswell !!!
Haley you have taught me a lot of things i didnt know about art. Your videos have been the most helpful ones for art that i have ever watched. Thank you for being a UA-camr and helping many people with these videos. :D you're the best!!
Oh! One thing I think you might've missed! To make the emotion even more intense and understandable, try changing the cheek and chin shape/placement.
When the corners of the mouth are turned up, the cheeks tend to stick out a little more and the chin is shorter.
When the corners of the mouth are turned down, the cheeks stick out less and the chin is longer.
This tip is also very important to know when doing lip syncing animations! Not only does it make the letters/syllables clearer, but it can also make the words flow better and show a deeper emotion ^^
Thank you so much for all of the tutorials, btw!! They've really helped me out a lot 💕💕
Keep being amazing and have a great day/night!!
Lavender: writes "true neutral" by left face at beginning
Me: *that's my favorite undertale route too*
8:16 - Dead inside
You could do an 'draw this not that' for eyes, comic composition, or facial features
could you make a video explaining how to draw a decent looking expression/face-shape from a side profile or an angle? i can't figure out how to do it without it looking weird and your videos help me a lot with certain things so i'd rlly appreciate it thank
One of the things I hate when people draw cartoon people in profile is when the nose and mouth sticks out too much, making the characters look like chihuahuas. I've seen it a lot in bad anime, but Anna and Elsa in Frozen also suffers from it.
I’m kind of in love with the boy on the right ❤️
Lizzy Squeaks dude same
Their hair puffs up like a hedgehog when they’re angry
Me: Shouta Aizawa ? ❓👄❓
Anatomy: do this not that!
congrats on making 100 videos!!!! can't wait to see the next 100
JennyArts (sorry I've been looking at who you've subbed to) YOU LIKE MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE! I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE!
**Dog Star** Oh! Haven’t listened to them in a while actually, but yeee
JennyArts ye and sorry to look at your channel subs randomly
**Dog Star** no problem my dude, I do some weird stuff myself too sometimes so I’m in no place to judge
I really love you and your art style and videos there so simple which is I love
10:00
why does that face on the left look like it came from a “how to draw manga” book?
Some people think that your not a good artist and have no right to give out artist advice? What is that about! You have a beautiful and unique style and your art advice has really helped me improve!
Can you do how to draw hair? ^^
Thank you for this!! 💖
I've been waiting for a do this not that facial expressions! I always struggle with those.
The crying expression on the "do" side. Why it he so cute? I just want comfort that character and protect him from all the sad. He's a wholesome lil bean.
Please make more of these emotion videos! This really helped me out and I need some more info on the other emotions. I find it very easier with the way you explain it.
I LOVE this series so much! Also Congrats on 100 videos!
Ur art is kawaii and cute and BEAUTIFUL X3

yaaay she said my name in the patron :))
weird tips for drawing emotions, look up toddlers. they really stretch their face and make it look very dramatic.
