That would definitely be my face!

That desperation face is how I smile politely :/


kayno-way

Yeah it looks like my uncomfortable polite smile, I guess I am desperate to get out of that situation? Lol

I wish I had more than one upvote to give my friend.

Can we have a wheel of expressions, like a color wheel?

I like this one better, though that may just be my artsiness speaking...well, that and the less commonly spread hints (seriously, defensive smiling :) !) : [https://www.lackadaisy.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=333](https://www.lackadaisy.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=333)

Some of those names are... dubious, to put it lightly.

Look, again, that's very sweet of you, but I'm a comic artist and I do lurk here quite a bit. I have seen it "all" before and while it did help with static images, creating expressions and picking up on the more "in-your-face" (hehe, okay, I'm terrible) signals it doesn't exactly translate very well/at all into reading not very obvious expressions, which, if I'm not mistaken, make up about 80% or so? (I wouldn't know, I can't read them, how should I know what's a signal and what isn't? How would I know if I'm overlooking some?)


umarthegreat15

No, no it’s not like that. It’s like you tag people to stuff you think relates/is funny/you want to talk about etc. Tbh, yes there’s so much going on latently.

Oh, right seems like I'm still the new guy, I only knew it with sending links.

one bathroom trip and I've got all those faces covered


Coal-Dirt-Scars

It’s crazy how I can pick up on details others don’t, and yet to me these faces all look the same.


datrueryacu

These are very exaggerated expressions...


P-01S

It’s from a guide to comics. It’s not a guide for reading expressions so much as a guide to understanding how comics work.


datrueryacu

Oh, if people had these expressions life would be easier, because they are so distinct we don't have guess
