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?

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!

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...

I love these, and your wicked sense of humor too. Blessings! (BTW, I shared your recent post of farts with my family, and my brother-in-law especially laughed hysterically.)

Those are all wonderful and so spot on. I think I'll barf any time I hear that man's voice.
Have a great weekend.

Awesomeness.

You can post your art, including cartoon art, any day of the week to make me happy.

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.
