Would you like to make a surprised face drawing? Surprise! This easy, step-by-step portrait drawing tutorial can show you how.

Surprise is an emotion described as a "startle response." It "represents the difference between expectations and reality."

In other words, we experience surprise when things don't follow the "rules" we expect day-to-day events to follow.

Surprise can be a positive or negative emotion. We might feel fearful surprise, for example, when we witness a jump scare. Or we may feel positively surprised when someone gives us an expensive gift, such as a diamond ring.

Other positive words for surprise include amazement, astonishment, awe, wonder, or dazzle. Negative surprise feelings may be called bewilderment, disappointment, shock, confusion, stunned, flabbergast, dumbfounded, rattle, bowl over, shake up, or stupefaction.
