Eyebrows can immediately change the expression of a character without Changing another feature. Think of a normal eyebrow being relatively flat with the outer edges following the flat sides of the head. For angry, you show them how you have them, pinched down towards the nose and angled upwards. Surprise, they are arched and up further from the eyes… hope this helps. Great character by the way.

I want this sketch to look cheerful, but why does it look angry?
Artist's notes:
I’m practicing trying to sketch anime expressions but the eyebrows never seem to sit properly on the face. they make the character look angry when they arent supposed to. My facial proportions and shape language are off. Using markers, any feedback?
