Description Okaaaay guys ! It's finally here, my Body Language tutorial !
Like its title says, it's focused on posing and bodies, so I didn't develop much on face and expressions.
If you want another face chart or something, just tell me, tho there are already lots of good ones around here !

Hope it'll be useful !

Edit : I'm glad so many of you people like it ! If you wanna practice a bit I did an expression intensity blank meme ! !

Edit2 : And here are some expressions refs I gathered for you !

Very useful, but just one thing to say. It is possible to cry with a straight face if you're trying to hold it in like in some movies and animation. Where you don't want it to be realized you're or your character is crying but the tears come anyways. IRL it is very possible.

As I said to a beson above : I believe you can keep a straight face for something minor, but you'll still have a blushy-red face (from the blood incoming) and still be a little tensed (like lip tight close or such), not, you know, the hollywood perfectly make-up face like Arwen for example ^^

Glad there are other people who hate emoticons . I see it in every Manga and anime inspire creation. People should try to drawing specific expression and specific emotions . Instead of the generic expression just because their fave mangaka does. Thank you for this we need more manga inspire artist rooting for specific and organic expressions.

(In all honesty, I really can cry with a straight face. But if you're crying over something major, or if you're really emotional, crying with a straight face is NOT going to happen.)
