Expression Yourself

For this project I chose to work with Twilight Sparkle of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. 

The top left expression is one of irritation. Beyond simple annoyance, Twilight is in a mood where every little noise makes her want to groan. She's just plain not in the mood. She squints, sensitive to light. This is how I feel when I get a migraine. 

The top right is simple, something has caught Twilight's attention. Her ears twitch towards the direction of the sound like a real pony's would. Her eyes dart to a blank space so she can try to think of what the sound might be.

The second row on the left is skepticism and slight annoyance, as if she's thinking "really?"The furrowed brow adds to the confusion.

The second row to the right is excitement and eagerness. Perhaps she just said what she thinks is a great  idea to her friend and it awaiting a response. Big goofy grin, eyes staring right into the "camera".

The third row on the left is guilt. She's not looking into anybody's eyes.

The third row to the right is a mix of surprise and fear, as if something is flying at her face. Her pupils are small and her eyes are wide. Her mouth indicates yelling.

The bottom row to the left is embarrassment and shock, as if she's just seen something she'd rather not. Her nose is scrunched up with a hint of disgust. 

The bottom row to the right is amusement. Her smile is sly, so perhaps she's trying to hide her amusement.

The picture in the top left corner of the second image is anger and determination. This is the face she might make at an enemy, whether they are an actually threatening character or just aggravating. Gritted teeth add tension.

The bottom right corner is a face of concern or sympathy, as if she's listening to a friend talk about their worries. Small frown, furrowed brow, eyes focusing on the friend.
