About Mischievous Faces

Mischief sits between playful and scheming. The face is planning something, but something small and harmless — a prank, a surprise, a joke at your mild expense. (¬‿¬) and (ˆωˆ) with a sideways lean are the standard shapes.

The lean

Mischievous faces almost always tilt. Whether by an asymmetric bracket, an off-centre mouth or an eye slightly higher than the other, the tilt is what separates mischief from a plain smile — it suggests the face is up to something without saying what.

Scale matters

Keep it small. A heavily decorated mischievous face reads as villainy, which is a different category. The most effective ones here are compact and understated, because understatement is what makes mischief funny.
