It is a fanart, it is based on <a href="http://www.megatokyo.com/index.php?strip_id=959">someone else's drawing</a>. Yet I had to re-imagine the girl expression in my style, in my construction method. Copying the mouth straightaway would have made no sense. But how to make her mouth interesting and relevant to the picture?<br /> <br /> Have you ever tried to take a live-action movie and advance frame by frame while one of the character is talking? Sometimes you will notice they are making unwillingly funny faces, even inside serious moments. Funny but expressive. Without thinking about it twice I tried to apply that principle there. I fetched a mirror and told myself the script observing the expressions I did. Then I selected the most interesting expression and drawn it. Here she is saying &lt;&lt;you <b>wa</b>nt me to take it off?&gt;&gt;. I have photographed her saying the "<b>wa</b>" syllable. Then I have applied this rule to some other drawings I did.<br /> <br /> <div align="center"> <img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/limacat/Tests/mouth001.jpg" alt="" /> </div> &lt;&lt;<b>Fu</b>ck you!&gt;&gt; (Shitty arm btw)<br /> <div align="center"> <img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/limacat/Tests/mouth002.jpg" alt="" /> </div> &lt;&lt;<b>I</b> want to go home!&gt;&gt; (Done while at office)<br /> <div align="center"> <img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/limacat/Tests/mouth003.jpg" alt="" /> </div> &lt;&lt;Go<b>sh</b>!&gt;&gt; (Funny)<br /> <div align="center"> <img src="http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a72/limacat/Tests/mouth004.jpg" alt="" /> </div> &lt;&lt;Yiii<b>haaa</b>!&gt;&gt; (This is a test for a larger drawing, which in turn is supposed to be part of a series, but nethertheless it was real fun to create)<br /><br /> I have read a long time ago <a href="http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2006/06/animation-school-lesson-6-construction.html"> this lesson</a> on the animation course by John K (it refers to <a href="http://funnycute.blogspot.com/2006/06/giant-mouthpost.html">Katie Rice</a>'s artwork). I did not study and apply it before to my drawings however, reason being I am still stuck on <a href="http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2006/05/animation-school-lesson-1-construction.html"> lesson #1</a>. Still... I think I am not going to make simple pin-ups of smiling, or sad girls anymore... too boring. ;)<br/ > <br/ > &lt;disclaimer&gt;<i> Do not do this while people are around, or they may husher you in a mental institution.
