模倣子 The Job

Does everybody have a conversation like this one at some point? The earlier the better? The later the better?

I love this animation style. The facial, eye and mouth, animation is really compelling. I notice how with rounded vowels and labials and such the characters’ mouths move across their faces when they are in oblique poses.

I wonder if I can integrate some of these ideas into my own drawings, like make the mouths more elaborate. I’m just kind of on simple lines for the most part. I don't seem to have enough real estate on the face.

The artist here is using a really fine pen and also a lot of contrast, like a really dark black ink, to really distinguish the tougue and teeth.

The eyes and mouths are really big, except for the one lady in the black dress. Eyes, mouths, teeth, tongues are all really big, and there is no real gap between the mouths and eyes, i.e., no noses, but the eyes are still in the middle of the head, so there’s still lots of eyebrow room.
