What is the right way to do a sligh smile?

[mastersylar]

I was watching David D's advanced series today and he talks about a sly smile. How do you do a sligh smile? Does anyone have any good pictures or references to pictures?

Just be natural about it. If you try to mechanically do one, you will look really awkward. I'm sure you've given your guy friends a sly smile when you made a wisecrack about them. "Hey Steve you big queen!" you might yell. What kind of expression would you have on your face after a comment like that?

The key is to actually be sly. The other day a girl I was having dinner with wanted to put some of her left over pizzas in my pizza box. I was giving her a hard time and saying no. She said, "let me put in your box." I said, "no, let me put in YOUR box!"

Of course, I said it completely jokingly so naturally my facial expression naturally turned to a sly a grin. She laughed and hit me on the shoulder.

Two types work for me:

The first is when I pretend like I'm trying not to smile, but had maybe had just heard a really funny joke.

The second is when I pretend that I'm being sneaky. Trust me, if you imagine yourself just creeping around in someones house with a large cartoon-esque bag of loot and a burglar mask it will produce a sly smile. You really have to get in to it though.
