Maybe this is mean but when ppl draw or animate anal and the bottom’s face is just :o I’m like where’s the IMPACT where’s the SAUCE they should look like they’re feeling something 🥺

I like surprised anal faces but it needs some sazon, otherwise it just looks like boredom. Either a sweaty forehead, scrunched nose, tense brows, something! When drawing intense faces I just kinda imagine "what if I was doing this act (and liked it)?" and draw based on feeling idk
The eyes and the mouth are the most important things when illustrating anal. It tells the tale. Their expression, their reaction, it speaks volumes. It can be a tad primal. Gives that oomph.
which without a doubt comes from the intensity of sensations and/or climax
i know a lotta people are put off by any expressions that aren’t :o or :D but the vast majority of actual o faces i think of don’t tend to be that lax in the brows/eyes/etc
YES EXACTLY you put it perfectly, I feel like this is why I’m so picky with nsfw art, a lot of it boils down to the depiction of realness and the connection I can make to it, the placated o face make things feel plastic and just not very genuine
Expression is something I'm trying to work on, actually, so I wouldn't say this is mean as much as it is important feedback for those who have preferences like yours! I'm wondering if you have any examples/places you turn to for reference though 👀
My favorite porn is the type where I can look at the characters gaze and just immediately sense the love and/or reverence they share for each other, Vic made a lot of really good points, but at least to me there’s also something so inherently INTIMATE about expressing a full breadth of emotion.
Facial expressions can make or break the nsfw art I enjoy. It doesn't typically ruin a piece, but it absolutely makes what was already a good pic even better.
Exaggeration in expression and pose make all the difference. A single facial expression well executed for its context can tell an entire story on its own. While a generic expression can make the emotional impact fall totally flat

Will keep that in mind, thanks for the observation 🤔
that face along with ahegao often don’t do it for me bc the lack of raw emotion makes it feel less like the recipient is actually enjoying it
this is likely bc a lot of pleasure faces irl border on reflecting pain/discomfort ive noticed

feel this whole heartedly
