Expression practice - sketches

Inspired by my lovely and lively niece I decided to practice drawing different emotions. For this I used a soft and a hard pencil in my A4 sized sketchbook. On the bottom half I experimented with quick simple faces and used myself as a reference, looking in the mirror girning, capturing the most prominent features. On the upper half I decided on three different emotions and drew children like I would for a comic or an animation. I thought of their character (the happy girl being my niece) and designed their looks accordingly making them fit with their emotion. Of cause I tried to exaggerate the feelings. It was interesting to observe which muscles move when you express a certain emotion as well drawing these movements in an extremer way.
