Illustrating Emotion with Eyes/Eye Movements

Eyes and eye movements, along with other aspects of facial expression and body language, can play a big role in indicating the emotion a character might be feeling in response to something they're thinking or experiencing.

Eye movements can be divided into three types:

- eyeballs - eyelids - eyebrows

Here are some things eye movements can indicate:

Eyes that brighten – acceptance

Eye contact – acceptance, admiration/adoration (prolonged eye contact), agitation (avoiding eye contact)

Eyes that twinkle – mischief, adoration

Eyes that harden – anger

Eyes that glaze over – boredom

Eyes that dart back and forth – anxiety, fear, disbelief

Eye that gleams – confidence

Eyes that glance furtively – desire, romantic interest

Eyes filled with tears – intense sadness or happiness

Eyes that look down/away – discomfort, guilt, uncertainty

Eyes that wander – boredom, indifference

Eye contact that’s broken – insecurity, discomfort, guilt

Eye contact that’s unsteady – vulnerable

Eyes that gaze longingly – loneliness, wistfulness, nostalgia

Eyes that seem to flicker or spark – rage

Eyes that are “doe-like” – innocence

Eyes that appear dull – stunned, exhaustion

Eyes that roll - annoyance, disbelief

Eyes that stare into the middle distance - deep in thought

Eyes that glance upward to right or left - thought

Eyelids that widen – amazement/surprise/shock

Eyelids that narrow – suspicion, scorn

Eyelids that blink rapidly – appalled, disbelief

Eyelids that don’t blink – courage, determination

Eyelids that flutter – pleasure, coy

Eyelids that close – defeat, frustration,

Eyelids that clamp shut – anger

Eyelids that are half-lidded – pleasure, lust, desire, exhaustion

Eyelids that squeeze shut – panic, intense fear

Eyelids that close gently, lightly – relief

Eyebrows that rise together – amazement/surprise/shock

Eyebrows that wiggle – teasing, suggestive

Eyebrows that draw/knit together – concern

Eyebrows that crumple/furrow – confusion

Eyebrows that rise in question – hopefulness

Eyebrow that rises alone – skepticism, satisfaction

Eyebrows that lower – wariness

Eyebrows that wrinkle or crease – worry

...

I hope that helps!

anyways Sonic Prime was a good time, a cute little Sonic show I’ll revisit just like Boom and X.

I’m so grateful that it gave us one of the best incarnations of Shadow since 06, for the first time in a long time Shadow felt Shadow, and I’m gonna miss him most of all

Prime Shadow, my beloved, you were bigger than the whole sky

[angishy]

I know they showed it in the trailer, but I’m still comatose from the fact that shadow tightened his grip as sonic was dying. Like. They animated that.

They animated this whole fucking thing and i still don’t 100% believe it wasn’t a fever dream

[angishy]

I CANT BELIEVE THIS IS REAL. SONADOW FANS ARE EATING GOOD TONIGHT.

DUDE- THE GRIP HE HAS ON HIM?? HELLO?? BRIDAL STYLE?? IM GENUINELY TWEAKING

[angishy]

Oh my goodness usually Shadow would push Sonic off him but he just let Sonic's arm stay there oh my fucking god. I think I'm dead.

[angishy]

I JUST REALIZED SHADOW STARTED TO FUCKING PANIC EVEN MORE WHEN HE WAS CARRYING SONIC BRIDAL STYLE (AFTER HIS FLIRTY REMARK) WHEN SONIC WENT LIMP. GUYS HE. WENT. LIMP AND SHADOW LOOKED LIKE HE WAS ABOUT TO CHOKE.
