Writing Exercise: Characterization Using the 25 Essential Expressions Artist’s Meme by Napalmnacey

Published by deannajjones under Writing Exercises, writing Edit This

I was browsing around deviantArt today and ran across this meme: 25 Essential Expressions, as well as a couple of the responses, here and here.

You’ll notice, of course, that this meme was created for visual artists (comic artists in particular, I believe) to practice portraying a single character in a variety of emotive states. You might ask why this would pertain to you as a writer–but you probably won’t, because I’ll bet you’ve already figured out how to use this meme to your advantage. 

I’m sure some of you will think of more uses from the one I’m presenting today, but the first thing that came to mind for me was to modify this challenge into a character building exercise for fiction writers.  XD (more…)
