I think the Music Industry should try to convince those who download music that it is ilegal and should tell them the consequences that come by when you do and get caught, and/or try to come up with a concept to try and prevent it as much as possible to ensure the fact that you have to buy not steal which if you steal it is punishable by law or just wrong to do any way and not care about what could happen if they got caught because they dont care all they care about is just downloading their music and not paying one cent for it and not really reconizing the fact that it is wrong to do so and to futher more engage the facts in their head so they will use some common sense and realize it is wrong and there for put an end to it so you won't have the Music Industry breathing down your back about losing songs,money, and the buisness period and stop talking about doing something to try and prevent it but get off from your desk or whatever and actually do it rather than talking nonstop and get off their lazy butts and do it!

10/20/06 1-23-07 Changing the expression of an anime character isn't particularly difficult, but it helps to know which features need to be adjusted for each type of emotion. In this tutorial, I will show you how the various parts of the face work together to convey different emotions. Once you learn what features to change to achieve the look you want, you should be able to draw any emotion you like. Please read through my other facial tutorials, though, since it helps to have a working knowledge of how the features should be aligned before you begin.

This is a trypical anime face, but notice the changes that have been made. The most obvious indicator of the character's emotion, in this case, are the eyebrows. Notice how the inner tips of the eyebrows curve upwards. Also, her lower eyelids curve upward slightly, while her upper eyelids have a more large, round curve. Curving the lower eyelid can indicate stress, sorrow, or anger; in this case, the shape of the eyebrows shows us that it is sorrow. ^_^ Also, notice the shape of the mouth; it is small, and curves downward. Overall, the character looks like she's about to burst into tears. ||  ||

This form of sadness is more subdued. The character seems depressed, but not as sad as the previous example. The eyes are smaller here (partly because this is a guy ^_^), and the mouth is larger and does not curve down so far. The angle of the eyebrows and the arch of the lower eyelid still let you know that this character is upset about something.

This picture is sort of a transition between sadness and anger. The eyebrows curve down sharply and his mouth is drawn so it looks like he is shouting, both of which indicates that he is mad, yet his irises are still very large. This sort of makes him look like he is angry, yet hurt or upset at someone or something.

This guy is clearly very ticked off, even though he isn't shouting. ^_~ You can draw angry people without them screaming their heads off. In this picture, the eyebrows are close to the eyes and angle down sharply (I also drew the folds in the skin caused by drawing ones eyebrows together like that), and the mouth angles downwards sharply. The eyes have been narrowed, and irises are very small, which helps to make a character look even more angry. ^_^

I'm not sure about this one; he looks both confused and ticked off. Alternating the angles of the eyebrows like this indicates confusion or incredulity. To add to the expression, draw the mouth slightly off-center, as well.

Its surprising how often anime characters talk with their eyes closed... ^_^ I wonder how many people actually talk like that...? Anyway, closed eyes can express a variety of emotions. Here, they express impatience or annoyance, but they can also express calmness, happiness, or smugness. Flip the eyes around and have them curve upwards, and they can express extreme sadness, as well as excitement. For this particular picture, I made the eyebrows angle downwards and drew the mouth open. Notice how I drew the upper left lip slightly raised; this helps whatever emotion you are trying to convey seem more negative, whether you are drawing anger, unhappiness, or impatience. ^_^

Happiness is one of the most common emotions you see with pictures of anime characters. Excessive happiness or excitement can be expressed by large eyes, highly arched eyebrows, and a big smiling mouth. Other features such as extra shinies in the eyes and the upward curving of the lower eyelid are also common. On a side note, more kawaii characters tend to have huge eyes, and small noses and mouths (unless their mouth is open, as in this picture).

This character is happy, as well, but not to the extent as in the previous example. The emotion is much more subtle. Notice that the eyebrows have been lowered (though they still arch slightly) and the curve of the mouth is very slight. The lower eyelids are arched, though, and the irises are still pretty large, so though the characters' contentment is not as obvious, it is still clear he's in a good mood. ^_^

To express surprise or shock, enlarge the eyes and make the pupils smaller. This is particularly apparent in anime face faults, when a character is so suprised that his/her eyes become almost as large as the rest of the face... ^_^ In this particular example, the mouth is drawn really small, but other sizes will work too.

This guy isn't particularly exciting, he just looks irritated. The irises are small, the eyebrows are arched down, and the mouth is small and slightly off center. I can't think of much else to say for this one... ^_^

This week I learned a lot from what Mr. Nathan said when he tried to talk to us about, and just so far of what I’ve learned in advanced technology applications so that's basically it, I guess till next week……<>….later H.J.V. justin_project link I think it sounds like a pretty cool school but I doubt it’s the school of the future because there could be more likely to have either close to or a lot more students that the school of the future plans to have and no I wouldn’t want to cause the education I want is some where else and that is probably where I will end up going in the near future. 1-9-06 over the past four months i have learned alot and i am continuing to learn. i have learned more than i have expected to learn and im liking it i really am and the TEKS stuff i have mastered are the solving problems one and the other one is communications and i have really and truly enjoyed this class and im going to miss it next year.I have also learned to research a little better in this class and i also learned about the five rules for powerpoint that i acknowledged from Mr. Nate on a online chat type thing at tappedin and so this basically what i have learned so far and hopoe to learn alot more. 1/11/07 i think that the David Debarr guy's whole attitude is all wrong towards the subject of the learning capability of our technology because everyone needs to learn alot these day with the media and just the whole work carreer enviroment and he is saying dont teach students tech applications in school when the teacher teaching the course has so many years of a college education on that spefic class that she or he is teaching and its unfair really in my opinion.

I would like to hear more of Mr. Nate Sir’s rules on PowerPoint and more on some of the technology that he or they use there in Colorado. I would also like to know more about what type of designing he teaches or that he does or if he does well any way this is all I would basically like to talk to Mr. Nate Sir a little more about. 4-30-07 i agree with the last one on the article thing he/she is right take it out of the student's hand who has missed used it dont let the rest of us suffer because of that one or few people who missed used it the wrong way.
