Art Challenge: 30 Important Expressions

Draw ‘em all, or have someone send you a character and a number… it’s your wonderland, Alice. Reblog, add your own. Have a good time.

hasn’t slept in 48 hours

tasted something gross

in a long, slow line at the DMV

listening to blind date talk about their ex

reading YouTube comments

favorite song just came on

song they hate just came on

had their favorite show spoiled

just fell in love (a.k.a. “Dreamweaver face”)

saw a wasp

had a fist fight (they won)

had a fist fight (they lost)

food coma

hello darkness, my old friend

“was that Batman?”

forgot what they were about to say

“oh no, they’re hot…”

their best friend’s cooking is not as good as they think

brainfreeze!

texted the wrong person

check out this box of kittens/puppies/bunnies/ducklings/whatever’s cutest to them!

their favorite TV show character dies

having an increasingly awkward conversation with Bob of Modus Operandi

parent/guardian is showing their baby pictures

stepped on a Lego

stepped on an Eggo… you know… the waffle

102 degrees indoors and there’s no A/C

watching the end of The Iron Giant… or maybe the opening to Up… or w-when Shadow is stuck in Homeward Bound…??

woken up out of a dead sleep

nailed it.
