Facial expression

A facial expression is the expression of feelings on a person's face. For example, a face can show happiness, amusement, surprise, anger, disgust, fear, sorrow, sadness, or pain.

In visual art, facial expression is very important. In cartoons, comics/manga and animation/anime, a character's facial expression is often exaggerated, sometimes into extreme forms of distortion.

Facial expressions in spanking art

In spanking art, the facial expression of the persons depicted, such as spanker, spankee, assisting persons, and/or spectators/witnesses, has a great influence on the mood of the scene. A visual depiction of a spanking scene can thus range from humorous to violent, from funny to serious, from causing schadenfreude to pity in the audience.

Spanking artists draw spankees with expressions such as:

pain, suffering (e.g. Jay Em, Drooaygah)
anger, rage
sadness, remorse
neutral (e.g. Spankart)
