All right, folks, in this clip I'm going to
teach you how to draw an ecstatic expression
on a cartoon character, just really overjoyed,
happy face. I'm going to do it right up here
in this corner. So, let's move up there. OK,
and the key to this one will definitely be,
as well, in the eyes. We're going to make
them extra big. And one way to make the eyes
look all ecstatic is, traditionally, you would
draw some sort of eyebrow or an eyelid definition,
but we're not going to do that. That really
helps sell the ecstatic expression. Make the
mouth as high up as it possibly can be. Nice
and big.
And then draw his tongue. Now, that really
helps sell the happy expression. Another way
you can do it, just to really make sure they
know this guy is ecstatic about something,
is make his eyebrows really high up. Normally,
they'd be somewhere in this area. We're raising
them just a bit there, just to make them really
sell the fact that this guy's insanely happy.
Then you come right around here, just kind
of build around, a giant open mouth. Just
like that. Come in here and draw the ears
and up to the hair. The eyebrows, in this
case, will actually overlap the hair just
a little bit. That's OK. It's kind of a good
way to show just how happy he is. And you
can call a lot of attention to the eyebrows
if you want. Looks a little silly, I know,
but it's just a good, solid way to show that
the character's really happy. Raise his eyebrows
up. Make his eyes wide and full. Mouth open
like that. Make sure the tongue is clearly
defined in there. And there you have it. This
would be definitely the ecstatic look.
All right. And there you have it.
