This is from the 25 Essential Expression Challenge which is circulating around DA right now. It’s actually a very good exercise, and if anyone feels that they’re lacking on their facial expressions, this is a fun way to test yourself. It was actually a lot harder than I thought it would be (especially trying to draw pleased and happy, which can look very much the same if not done right).

A lot of people are just drawing their art in the squares using their tablets... but I just have problems drawing fine line-art on the computer (see my journals for more detail), so I actually enlarged the squared, printed them out, drew in them with a pencil and ink pen, scanned them back in, and resized them to fit the spaces before coloring. Lol. A lot of work over something which doesn’t need it. I just like the tactile feel of drawing though... it’s hard for me otherwise...

Anyway... Here’s a link to the original challenge on DA:

In incredulous she has three eyebrows. I was really confused for a little bit.

for some reason, this character reminds me of Lina Inverse. Is that maybe an inspiration behind her design?

Design? No... because originally she was designed with short hair. Personality... I think there's a good chance there's a bit of Lina in there... :p

Wow, this will help me so much with facial expressions for my OC's since your style is the biggest influence on my cartoons at the moment! I'm so glad i found this in your gallery :)
