Friday Face OFF -- Portrait Challenge: Emotions

For today's Friday Face OFF link party
of art featuring faces, hosted by Nicole of


Nicole's challenge for us this week
is to draw faces portraying one, more, or all
the emotions on her list of prompts.


Coincidentally, I just finished a short
cartooning class earlier this month,
so I decided to illustrate all the prompted emotions
in a typically cartoony over-the-top manner.

Here they are!


I channeled my inner Donald Trump
by using a black Sharpie 
on white paper to do these cartoons.

And speaking of emotions,
it disgusted me to even type that,
but hey -- anything for a joke, eh?

  2. I don't blame you being disgusted, but if it had to be said, it had to be said. Loving these faces. They are very cool. A bet a cartooning class would be fun! Happy Friday!

  3. Great ones, especially with the thought of doing them!
    A fearful face behind bars I kinda miss in that connection ... well, OK, that will never happen, I reckon. I mean in real life...

  15. These are fantastic. Your cartooning class clearly paid off—the expressions are spot on! I had to laugh at the 'Sharpie' comment; it’s a dangerous tool in the wrong hands, but you’ve used its powers for good instead of for drawing fake hurricane paths.

  16. Wonderful expressive cartoon faces so well done ~ Hugs ^_^

  17. You’re a great cartoonist. Too bad about the dishonorable mention, but sometimes it has to be done.

  20. That's very creative I love those. If you keep this up I'm going to have to send you my drag portrait, and have you do a Sharpie portrait for me! I would probably frame that!

  21. OMGosh! You are the best. How cool are these characters? The class seems to have been a success. These are brilliant. Thank you so much for sharing your amazing art with FFO and have the best weekend.

  23. Hello Debra, Maybe that Happy Person seems just a little too happy. What kind of drugs is the Canadian Health Service prescribing?

    When it comes to the orange shitpile, we're all two minutes from barfing.

  26. The barf one is particularly convincing. Now draw a paper bag.

  30. We were talking about one of the neighbors today. Give me a break. I don't know, she seems like a normal old Mormon lady to me. You know.
    She seems to have a fierce and judgemental attitude. But we are going through a problem and my Mormon friend helped me. I think the real Mormons are not like Mike Lee. I hope that we never hear from that bad man again.

    1. @ Ur-spo -- Doesn't "happy," maybe "surprised," and possibly "tired" (afterwards), cover the gamut?
