Yay. Tutorial time.

I've been thinking recently that I get quite a few comments from people saying how they like the emotion in my characters, so I came up with this tutorial which hopefully should show you how I do it, or at least give you a basic idea of how to bring out emotion in your characters.
It doesn't show you how to draw emotion, it's just a large essay-type tutorial which should help you understand about capturing emotion. So I hope it comes in handy for you. Please pardon any mistakes found in this tutorial, it was rather rushed towards the end.

Topics covered:

- Inspirations
- Getting into character
- Referencing
- Examples.

Enjoy!

EDIT: If you do use this tutorial, please leave links to your images, I'd like to see how you get on :).

*claps hand* A great read and looks like a great tutorial for use for people in need of help emotions wise. I agree with the music comment. I have found myself half the time thinking of certains scenes and emotions purely because of the music I listen to.

That was great! I love the music part, that's excaotly what I do. I also seem to make the same expression while I draw it. It's pretty funny XD
