For content, references draw raised eyebrows (mainly interior tips). Draw eyes closed and transparent.

For a more vibrant expression, draw the chin below as the mouth will open. Draw eyebrows on top and raised interior tips. Draw eyes slightly open than usual. Inside, the eyes attract a lot of looks and make them look more prominent than usual. Draw a smiley face but do not show teeth.
For a confused facial expression and draw the chin below due to the opening of the mouth. Draw eyebrows on top and raised interior tips. Draw eyes that open slightly wider than usual and draw irises higher – Draw the mouth with an “O” shape.
To get the Grinning Expression, draw the lower eyebrows and the inner tips down. Draw sharp eyes and draw a smiling mouth and pointed teeth.
Draw a bean-like mouth and bend down. Re-draw the chin below because of the open mouth to address the fear. Draw eyebrows on the face with inner tips that are much higher than usual. Draw eyes wide open and draw much smaller irises than usual not to touch the eyelashes.
For embarrassing speech, draw eyebrows raised (opposite of the norm). Draw lower eyes and upper eyelids slightly lower than usual.
For a smiley expression, draw the eyes slightly narrowed and draw the mouth wider and bend more than usual.
For irritated speech (such as embarrassing speech), draw eyebrows raised (as opposed to normal) and lower eyelids, slightly lower eyelids.
