For my next art project, I have to do a painting that has an expression. (Hate, love, fear, etc...)

I was thinking about doing one for insanity/paranoia/fear.. ish.

What I'm picturing is a girl with wide eyes and an open screaming mouth. Also with her fists at both sides of her head, pulling on her hair. Last night I was looking through DA photography and I couldn't find anything even close to that.

So I was wondering.

Would anyone be able to take a quick shot of themselves expressing this emotion? Even a webcam picture would be fine. As long as you could do it VERY soon. Within a couple days, maybe?

I'd just be using the picture for reference, not drawing you in particular. If I can't find anyone, I'll just draw myself in front of a mirror or something, so no worries.

But if anyone would be interested, it'd be really helpful.

That sounds like Munch to me.. smile

Yeah, I played around with my webcam just to see. I couldn't get both hands up because that would mean hitting the button with my foot, and though I did try it, it isn't really all that comfortable or effective.

See, I don't think that real fear is expressed as the traditional wide eyed, wide mouthed look. That is easiest to get across in a picture but when you are actually afraid you more tend to scrunch up protectively than open out like that.

Anyway, I know it's not exactly what you asked for but these are my picks of the pics.
P.S- check me in my awesome PJ's.

Omfg I'm so going to do that as soon as I get my camera.

Sometimes I randomly do that. 3nodding

Though it's more funny/scary than emotional.

xD Awesome, thanks for the pics.

If you want to try the kind of... scrunched-up scared look too, that'd be cool. Then I could see which one I prefer. biggrin

They're big, but compressed... I think...

If you're on 56k and they're still not compressed enough let me know. I can compress them more. 3nodding

Here's another one that may help, but I'm not too happy with the glare.
