This is your daily reminder that eyes are 3-dimensional!

Even artists making super stylized work like manga need to think about the 3D shape of the eyeball, the eyelids, and the surrounding skull. It's how you avoid flat faces πŸ‘Œ

Hands are fiddlyβ€”but they’re highly expressive too!

Instead of avoiding hands, use them as an opportunity to say something about your character’s state of mind.

Is your character relaxed? 🫴 Or are they full of tension and rage? 🀜
