EMPATHY TEST

In the 1982 science fiction classic "Blade Runner", replicants, who are androids that look, think and talk exactly like human beings are given "empathy tests". The replicants appear to show compassion and concern for one another and are juxtaposed against human characters who lack empathy while the mass of humanity on the streets is cold and impersonal.

Empathy is the number one sure fire way to make sure someone will listen to your story/anime. If the reader can identify with the main character, he/she will be invested to read more.

IN anime and in ICONIC American drawing styles, eyeballs are always LARGER than they appear in reality. This is because, as the old saying goes, "eyes are the window to the soul".

Today in class, please write down the events of your day hourly. Think back to how your felt in each hour. You don't need to say what happened ... just how you felt at that hour.

When you have 5 hours, put them in boxes sequentially.

Then, try to draw the EYES or FACE of that emotion for each panel's hour.

In a photocopy is a list of emotions with faces that mimic that emotion.
