Love this! When I draw the characters, I will inadvertently make the same expression I’m drawing. Sometimes, this helps me understand better how to translate the expression to paper (by imagining how my face is looking and feeling my facial muscles). Other times, it’s just unconsciously done. I caught myself doing it all the time when drawing. That might look very weird if I do this in a crowded Starbucks, which is why I don’t work as much in a cafe these days.

PS: I want to play with Lucky! So adorable!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I have the same problem with drawing in cafes and in public places! I've been thinking of getting bigger headphones so people just know i'm in some zone!

Expresions! Thanks you for the great tidbit, this is priceless when working on a piece. One of the wonderful examples is Helena Bonham pretending to be Emma Watson, pretending to be hermione pretending to be Bellatrix lestrange lol
