on the drawing board: scaredy cats

I find the human face amazing, and rendering it equally challenging, but in a fun way.  I am always amazed how the subtlest change in the arc or angle of a line can change an expression from say, curious surprise to panic.  It's sometimes difficult to figure out what needs to change to get just the right emotion I'm after.  I even  spend time looking in the mirror making faces at myself  trying to figure out what I need to do.
