Have you ever noticed how capturing an emotion just right can bring a static image to life? This tutorial takes a deep dive into how to express a wide range of emotions on the character’s face, using various prompts to make characters feel alive. Keep in mind, showing emotion usually involves more than just the face, like body language, but we won’t get into that here. Get ready to take your art to the next level by mastering how to show feelings. Let’s start this creative journey together.
Overview
Wikipedia’s emotion classification page lists various ways to classify emotions. One of the approaches identifies six basic emotions [1]:
- anger
- disgust
- fear
- happiness
- sadness
- surprise
We will be adopting this approach as the base in this tutorial. In addition, we will be covering embarrassment. The animaPencilXL_v100.safetensors model was used to generate images, and a prompt for each image will be provided. As a disclaimer, it’s important to note that the tags provided may not always be effective in other anime models, or even in animaPencilXL. In cases where the below tags do not produce the desired results, we recommend experimenting with synonymous terms to achieve optimal outcomes.
