Tuesday Tips – EYES!
Eyes are what convey most of someone’s expression. Body language is important, but “eyes don’t lie”. There’s a reason why someone who’s lying will generally try to avoid eye contact. We are biologically set-up to “read” someone’s inner feelings by looking at their eyes.
In storyboarding, if I’m in a real hurry to make a sequence “read” better, I will try to hit the eyes and facial expression as best as I can before anything else, especially if it’s an emotional scene.
Have a great Tuesday, everyone!

GOOD FUCKING BYE TO THAT
Hey everybody!
The Acetronauts are currently on hiatus while we try to figure out an easier way to get videos to you, since the vloggers have been so busy so often.
In order to keep people educated and interested while we do this, though, we’ll be in need of guest vloggers to fill in the empty space.
Under the cut there is a list of topics that you can choose from to do your video on and the e-mail address to send them to. There isn’t a limit to the amount of videos you do or a deadline to submit them by.
The only qualification necessary is that you fall somewhere under the ace umbrella.
MOTHER FUCKIN RESOURCES
HOVER FOR INFO!!!! ლ(ಠ益ಠ)ლ
ENORMOUS FUCKING AMOUNT OF REFERENCE
WHATS THAT? YOU NEED MORE. REFERENCE? LMAO. OK!!!!!!
HAVE FUN CUTIES!! (ﾉ≧∀≦)ﾉ☆*･゜ﾟ･*
