Experiment: Anime Eyes

Looking at Anime/Manga techniques of presenting eyes, I tried out an experiment to see how portraying eyes this way worked on the main character from my final major project. After trying out three different eye expressions, I found that the more joyous expressions I tried were more effective. The reasons behind their effectiveness were the fact that, even though the eyes themselves are not realistically accurate in appearance, they encapsulate the feeling they are trying to display so effectively. I found that the starry-eyed look was particularly successful, as the stars within the enormous eyes of the character clearly display the wonderment and joy of being extremely happy.
