Tuesday Tips – Watch Your Mouth (new tip, which will be included in 100 Tuesday Tips Volume 2, available next year. The first volume is finally back in stock in our Etsy shop.)

Even without language, we communicate a lot with the shape of our mouth (lips, mouth corners, teeth, …) Like all facial features, its complexities can be simplified, but a good understanding of it all is a must!

Happy Tuesday! Today’s tip is a very easy one to remember – VARY Your PROPORTIONS!

Characters that has varied proportion within their shape tend to be more dynamic and interesting. The ones with equal proportion tends to be more static; there’s definitely time to do this; ie. when you want to emphasize the staticness or boringness of a character. In general, I tend to give variety within my proportion and avoid to divide things in half or equal mass. I always keep in mind to use the rule of 1/3 2/3 and S-M-L.

Have fun!
Griz

Also on a side note, anything looks cute with 2 dot eyes and a smile!
